Is there any pool where I can complete mining work for a mining pool via and http requests? Some sort of API?
I have access to a lot of computational power that I want to route to a mining pool using php..
Something like this:
1) visit url (including login details)
2) response includes mining work/problem
3) visit different url to submit completed work and have tiny payout from pool

One of the key aspects of a mining protocol is that the miners should be informed immediately when a new block is confirmed on the network. Otherwise, they will continue working on the old block which would then be useless work.
This is why there is not a simple GET/POST protocol for mining. The miners keep a connection open to the pool servers, so that there can be immediate two-way communication between them (from the miner for the case of a share completed, or from the server in the case of a new block).
what protocol is used? how could it be connected with a web address? :) – Amy Neville – 2014-03-25T20:13:08.440
The common protocols are getwork (not used much today), getblocktemplate, and stratum.
