function Publish-Command {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Creates a HttpListener, enabling a command to be accessed via HTTP.
     
    .DESCRIPTION
    Makes a cmdlet or function available over http. Default parameters will use port 80, 5 threads, and the path http://localhost/PSApi/<Command>. Unpublish-Command can be used to undo the publishing of a function. If the served function changes it is necessary to re-publish it. Issuing Publish-Command again with the same parameters and including the -Force switch is useful for this.
     
    .PARAMETER Command
    Specifies the command to make available.
     
    .PARAMETER Hostname
    Specifies the hostname which will serve the requests. Defaults to '+'
     
    .PARAMETER Port
    Specifies the port the HttpListener will listen on.
     
    .PARAMETER Path
    Specifies the path the command will be published on.
     
    .PARAMETER NumberOfThreads
    Specifies the number of runspaces that will be created to handle incoming web-requests. Minimum is 2, since listening for requests and handling requests are done in separate threads.
     
    .PARAMETER LogLocation
    Specifies where the access log for the published command should be created. Defaults to the location where the command is issued.
     
    .PARAMETER Force
    Indicates that the command should be automatically re-published by unpublishing any existing command with the same name first.
     
    .PARAMETER ShowDebugMessages
    Indicates that debug messages from runspace should be routed to the terminal host.
 
    .PARAMETER AddUrlAcl
    Indicates that instead of publishing the command, a urlacl prefix should be reserved. This will allow the command to be published without administrator rights. Only relevant for Windows.
     
    .EXAMPLE
    Publish-Command MyFunction
 
    Publishes MyFunction at http://localhost/PSApi/MyFunction
 
    .EXAMPLE
    # Gets highest CPU consumers in current session
    function Get-HighCpuConsumers {
        param($Number)
        Get-Process | Sort-Object CPU -Descending | Select-Object Name, StartTime, CPU -First $Number | ConvertTo-Json
    }
     
    Publish-Command Get-HighCpuConsumers
 
    Going to http://myhostname/PSApi/Get-HighCpuConsumers?Number=5 will now show the output of the function, with 5 passed into the Number parameter.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    # From an un-elevated Windows shell
    Publish-Command Get-Process
    <results in error message>
 
    # From an elevated Windows shell
    Publish-Command Get-Process -AddUrlAcl
 
    # From an un-elevated Windows shell
    Publish-Command Get-Process
    <success!>
