// HTTP RPC server supporting calls via uri params, jsonrpc, and jsonrpc over websockets
|
|
//
|
|
// Client Requests
|
|
//
|
|
// Suppose we want to expose the rpc function `HelloWorld(name string, num int)`.
|
|
//
|
|
// GET (URI)
|
|
//
|
|
// As a GET request, it would have URI encoded parameters, and look like:
|
|
//
|
|
// curl 'http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name="my_world"&num=5'
|
|
//
|
|
// Note the `'` around the url, which is just so bash doesn't ignore the quotes in `"my_world"`.
|
|
// This should also work:
|
|
//
|
|
// curl http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name=\"my_world\"&num=5
|
|
//
|
|
// A GET request to `/` returns a list of available endpoints.
|
|
// For those which take arguments, the arguments will be listed in order, with `_` where the actual value should be.
|
|
//
|
|
// POST (JSONRPC)
|
|
//
|
|
// As a POST request, we use JSONRPC. For instance, the same request would have this as the body:
|
|
//
|
|
// {
|
|
// "jsonrpc": "2.0",
|
|
// "id": "anything",
|
|
// "method": "hello_world",
|
|
// "params": {
|
|
// "name": "my_world",
|
|
// "num": 5
|
|
// }
|
|
// }
|
|
//
|
|
// With the above saved in file `data.json`, we can make the request with
|
|
//
|
|
// curl --data @data.json http://localhost:8008
|
|
//
|
|
//
|
|
// WebSocket (JSONRPC)
|
|
//
|
|
// All requests are exposed over websocket in the same form as the POST JSONRPC.
|
|
// Websocket connections are available at their own endpoint, typically `/websocket`,
|
|
// though this is configurable when starting the server.
|
|
//
|
|
// Server Definition
|
|
//
|
|
// Define some types and routes:
|
|
//
|
|
// type ResultStatus struct {
|
|
// Value string
|
|
// }
|
|
//
|
|
// Define some routes
|
|
//
|
|
// var Routes = map[string]*rpcserver.RPCFunc{
|
|
// "status": rpcserver.NewRPCFunc(Status, "arg"),
|
|
// }
|
|
//
|
|
// An rpc function:
|
|
//
|
|
// func Status(v string) (*ResultStatus, error) {
|
|
// return &ResultStatus{v}, nil
|
|
// }
|
|
//
|
|
// Now start the server:
|
|
//
|
|
// mux := http.NewServeMux()
|
|
// rpcserver.RegisterRPCFuncs(mux, Routes)
|
|
// wm := rpcserver.NewWebsocketManager(Routes)
|
|
// mux.HandleFunc("/websocket", wm.WebsocketHandler)
|
|
// logger := log.NewTMLogger(log.NewSyncWriter(os.Stdout))
|
|
// listener, err := rpc.Listen("0.0.0.0:8080", rpcserver.Config{})
|
|
// if err != nil { panic(err) }
|
|
// go rpcserver.StartHTTPServer(listener, mux, logger)
|
|
//
|
|
// Note that unix sockets are supported as well (eg. `/path/to/socket` instead of `0.0.0.0:8008`)
|
|
// Now see all available endpoints by sending a GET request to `0.0.0.0:8008`.
|
|
// Each route is available as a GET request, as a JSONRPCv2 POST request, and via JSONRPCv2 over websockets.
