I'm trying to get the scanningcabinet working
(https://camlistore-review.googlesource.com/#/c/5416/). I've rebased it up
on ToT and it seems to be functional, but I'm having a lot of confusion
with the app interface with camlistore.
I added the following to my config:
"/scancab/": {
"handler": "app",
"enabled": true,
"handlerArgs": {
"prefix": "/scancab/",
"program": "scanningcabinet",
"listen": "127.0.0.1:2055",
"backendURL": "http://127.0.0.1:2055/";
}
},
I'd like to drop as much redundant info as possible. Why is "prefix"
required twice? Can we plumb through the "/scancab/" key down into the
handler's constructor so it has it as a default? This key seems to be how
scannincabinet would call back to Camlistore. Shouldn't that not be
configurable and just be a randomly generated URL that's passed into
scanningcabinet when it's run (like the auth is)?
Also, "listen" or "serverListed" are required. Can't we just default to a
random port added to Camlistore's ip if neither one is specified?
"backendURL" or "serverBaseURL" is also required. Shouldn't it just default
to whatever "listen" defaults to?
Finally, when I go to http://localhost:3179/scancab/test it routes to
http://localhost:2055/scancab/test. I'd expect it to trim off the
"/scancab/" prefix and route to http://localhost:2055/test.
I'm probably missing the goal of how this contract is supposed to work, and
which knobs are intended to be configurable. Could someone help me out, as
I don't want to submit a pull request that removes/changes a bunch of these
keys and behaviours if they were intended.
Thanks
