Launch a Pelican Director

Synopsis

Launch a Pelican Director service:

The Pelican Director is the primary mechanism by which clients/caches can discover the source of a requested resource. It has two endpoints at /api/v1.0/director/origin/ and /api/v1.0/director/object/, where the former redirects to the closest origin supporting the object and the latter redirects to the closest cache. As a shortcut, requests to the director at /foo/bar will be treated as a request for the object from cache.
