Depends what you mean by "accessing".  For instance, PuSH, and thereby 
RabbitHub, doesn't have a discovery mechanism.  It's just the messaging.

One thing to be aware of is that RabbitHub treats PuSH as a symmetric 
messaging protocol -- on one side it accepts subscriptions from 
downstream (the "subscription" interface, e.g., 
http://localhost:55672/rabbithub/subscription/q/myqueue), and on the 
other it accepts messages from upstream (the "endpoint" interface, e.g., 
http://localhost:55672/endpoint/x/amq.fanout).

It's also content-agnostic, and doesn't try to do any of the XML/Atom 
processing implied in the PuSH specification.

Each exchange and queue in RabbitHub is exposed as its own PuSH hub, 
with the topics being AMQP routing keys.  You can also create and delete 
exchanges and queues using PUT and DELETE.
