Nice attempt.
But your title is misleading.
You just listen for a URL and forward it to the browser with socket.io
(Pusher, Pubnub are some commercial services for this)
If I can change some content in your webpage by just curling localhost, I can judge the title you put :)
- shurane 14y agoSo he still needs to host something that forwards information to the browser? Shucks.
- poundy 14y agoYes, he needs to have a Node/Socket.io server somewhere.
- jedschmidt 14y agoIndeed, this isn't entirely original, and I know services like this exist. To me, this is what PUSHER's API _should_ have been.
- e12e 14y agoSo, it's not a new take on POW (plain old webserver): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pow-plain-old-webserver/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pow-plain-old... which apparently have been abandoned, and could use a fork (source at: http://davidkellogg.com/pow/ http://davidkellogg.com/pow/ )? Apparently there's a newer variation at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browser-server/ and of course there's Opera's Unity. I do get that the idea is that it "just" uses javascript (the server appears to be down, so I'm actually guessing) -- but when such projects already exist, I kind of expected more...
- arunoda 14y agoI thing they use some kind of native addon (I don't know how FF addon works) to do this. Unfortunately Chrome's native client(NaCl) does not support TCP yet! So I think something like this impossible in chrome? Any ideas?
