Fixes #40

Are we sure we'll never need to use these APIs?

andrenatal commented 6 years ago

I know they were used for foxlink but don't know the reason they existed either and if we'd need them at some point.

We don't use any of the discovery APIs, and I don't believe we ever have. We rely solely on the PageKite tunnel, so we don't do any of the shortest-path stuff that these APIs provided. As discussed in the meeting yesterday, we'd like to not send the user's local IP address to the registration server, which renders these APIs useless.
