Show HN: Wotop – Web on top of any protocol
- ReactiveJelly 6y agoIf you're tunneling SSH through HTTP, shouldn't it actually be "Any protocol of top of web"? Also interesting choice to use C++. I don't see the headers for Civet or Mongoose, or even libcurl in the Makefile. Is it your own HTTP implementation on both sides?
- pxx 6y agoIt doesn't really need to support the full HTTP spec given that both the client and server are under its control... Any subset will do; all you really need to do is respond with a 200 header.

- exabrial 6y agoYes, but does it support: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
- Mic92 6y agoYes, but you would not need it since you could connect via SSH directly when having IPoAC connectivity. The ping might suck though.
- t0mmel 6y agoFun project. But isn’t this “just” a service bus with another name, that uses http for transport ?
- 2pointsomone 6y agoWhat are the primary protocols that you envisioned this would be most useful with?
- nishit_nm 6y agoMainly SSH, because in my college SSH outgoing/incoming traffic was restricted But it can work with any TCP protocol thru HTTP
- clarry 6y agoI think I've used https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/httptunnel https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/httptunnel (or another very similar tool) in the past to get around restrictive networks that pass http traffic. That was more than a decade ago though.
- txzenwozb 6y agoCurrently Webrtc have to go thru TURN servers to achieve P2P calling on few networks, Can a similar thing be used to send them over http/https and have a js code on receiving side, convert it into UDP Webrtc data, bypassing the need for a costly TURN server
