Hi, I've put the EventedAPI guys on bcc so they can see this and join the group to comment if they wish.
I just read the EventedAPI spec doc here: http://www.eventedapi.org/spec Yes, this can be done with PuSH if we adopt the "symmetric" variant that 'RabbitHub' implements: https://github.com/tonyg/rabbithub If you look in the archives of this google group you will find a presentation describing this model. It's essentially the same as that set out under "Event Subscription" at http://www.eventedapi.org/spec but with a general token instead of the event signal URL (<esl>). I propose that PuSH should be as simple as this. Blaine and Michael drafted a version of spec some time ago and posted it to this group, that would (IIRC) admit this pattern. It could be simplified further. One way to think about this is to decompose the protocol into something like EventedAPI for p2p event subscriptions and HTTP push, and a second component for defining how hubs and topics work. alexis On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 12:18 PM, Jeff Lindsay <[email protected]> wrote: > I know them pretty well.
