Changing stratum URL without restart

[batmanbytes]

I was wondering: is it possible to change the URL of the pool I'm mining, without restarting the Bitaxe? I'm in a situation where I want it to change to mining to another pool with the slightest delay possible. Restarting it takes 5-10 seconds at least.

I used the following call, but it simply changes the text field in the UI; the miner does not switch mining to the new pool:

curl -X PATCH http://bitaxe_ip/api/system \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "stratumURL": "pool.ip",
    "stratumPort": 3333,
    "stratumUser": "address",
    "stratumPassword": "x"
  }'

I need to restart it for any changes to apply.

  # System restart action
  curl -X POST http://YOUR-BITAXE-IP/api/system/restart

The miner is not designed to switch to a new pool on the fly. Maybe worth an issue

This ties in with n > 2 of number of pools, and reordering of pool configurations. #1187

However, I'm not sure if this warrants the complexity. It's quite involved to restart a new stratum connection, and getting the fallback pool to work was quite tricky. Another related issue is #734.
