Better signaling server #43

Closed tana closed 4 years ago

tana commented 4 years ago

Different random URL for server and client WebSocket

e.g.
- Server: wss://example.com/ws-server/random_a
- Client: wss://example.com/ws-client/random_b
  Usage flow
  1. Server owner pushes some button on webpage.
  2. The control page https://example.com/server/random_a is created. i. This random_a is secret for server owner. ii. It contains links to connect wss://example.com/ws-server/random_a and wss://example.com/ws-client/random_b .
  3. Server owner launches the main program and connect to wss://example.com/ws-server/random_a as a server.
  4. Post wss://example.com/ws-client/random_b into Twitter etc.
  5. Client users launch app to connect wss://example.com/ws-client/random_b .

Because random_a is kept secret, nobody other than legitimate server owner can launch server on the URL pair.

C# side was implemented in PR #44 . Actual signaling server (node.js) is now on a separate repo https://github.com/tana/Mondeto-Signaling .
