Server support #17

Open snej opened 9 years ago

snej commented 9 years ago

JetFire only supports client-side connections. Server connections are required for apps that want to do P2P messaging (such as mine.)

The necessary bits are:

[ ] Running a listener socket to accept incoming TCP connections
[ ] Parsing the HTTP request on an incoming connection
[ ] Modifying the way messages are sent (i.e. not masking the contents)

You may be able to steal code or at least ideas from PocketSocket's implementation :wink:

That would be a cool add, wasn't something I had originally planned on. Since this would probably take some time to test and run through the autobahn suite, PR is welcomed if you have something going.

To be honest, I'm not likely to get around to this because I'm using PocketSocket instead of JetFire now :( I like JetFire's super small codebase, but server support is a must-have for my project and PocketSocket already has it.

Makes sense. Hard to argue when something already works. :smile: Maybe down the road we will be able to get this feature added.
