Implement WebSockets #27

Open zfi opened 7 years ago

zfi commented 7 years ago

The BlocklyProp client currently provides an embedded web server that facilitates communication with the client browser to obtain binary images that it then loads onto a connected Propeller device. The current implementation does not support end to end secured communication when the web browser is using HTTPS to communicate with the BlocklyProp server.

@michel-cf has proposed to re-architect the solution to use WebSockets in this post. The proposal will require an additional service from the cloud infrastructure and a significant rewrite of the existing code base.

This ticket will track the overall progress of the effort.

Created a test bed using the Autobahn package to manage WebSockets within the client. This should eliminate the weird dependency tree on ws4py/wsgi/cherrypy that is currently in place.
