As in the case of aliases, the port could be considered as a subresource of an application, with links to 'show', 'conceal' and 'expose'. also, 'show' operation could be mapped on a HTTP 'GET' method, since the semantic of the 'show-port' operation is more close to a 'query' than a change in the application configuration.
The rest api no longer handles show, expose, and conceal port events. This bug (or enhancement request) is no longer valid. Marking it ON_QA to be closed.
