Hi folks,
We have been discussing doing at least a basic/poc TCP transport as a way to
keep ourselves honest wrt the API abstraction work that was recently started. I
would like to propose using websockets for this work, for a few reasons:
1. It saves us from having to invent our own, non-standard framing protocol.
2. It already defines push semantics that we could leverage later for
streaming notifications
3. It would lay the groundwork for investigating the viability and security
considerations around allowing browser-based apps to interact directly with
queues
Although, I think something like this is necessary, I don't think it
can replace a lower level transport based on TCP / zmq or even Qpid Proton.
That being said, I think this work should be a bit broader and take
something like socket.io[0] under consideration instead of plain
websockets.
I see a lot of benefits from having this kind of support in Marconi,
it'll ease the integration with Horizon and other web and/or mobile
technologies.
Cheers,
FF
