This updates the hostname to be `tunnel.steve.fi`, because we're changing the way the client <-> server link works, and that means the existing public-endpoint won't work. TODO: * Think about signing the requests the server submits. * That doesn't stop sniffing, but does stop spidering/probing.
This has been tested via the `mosquitto_pub` command; inject a full-request such as: GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: foo.example.com The result is that the response is sent back down the same channel, as expected. Porting the server should be pretty simple, based on this work. Since the HTTP-server and the MQ-server are on the same host I'm going to cheat and only talk to MQ on the localhost for the server.
Tested with 20 concurrent clients accessing 20 local (python webservers). Zero deadlocks. Zero failures.

This is functional. However I will look at embedded queues, as per #4 before I merge. It might be that will be cleaner and better. |
…if we have an embedded queue

This is a work-in-progress pull-request which is intended to move from using websockets as the transport towards using MQ.
This is designed to ensure that the server scales and can handle multiple overlapping clients without deadlocking.
