Now that we have SAM tool working using a external python wrapper with file-based communication with MITK, how about rebuilding MONAI Label in the same pattern.
This should remove introduction of the planned cpp-httplib dependency in MITK (and other OpenSSL issues that might appear down the road)
Basic Python requests module should be sufficient to do Get and Post requests to a MONAI Label server.
Also, MONAI Label client can be stateless. The complexity of the proposed python script should be far less complex than of SAM's.
