PLEASE NOTE: This software is not meant for production use. It's just a prototyping tool (that I developed it to be able to send socket notifications from a Parse server).
A proxy for sending notifications to multiple clients, connected over socket connections based, on http requests. By default the proxy opens two ports:
- 9000: Accepts socket connections from clients which needs to register themself after connecting (see details below).
- 9001: Accepts HTTP requests (PUT and GET) which can trigger notifications to be sent to any of the clients connected to port 9000.
To improve stability it is recommended that you use another tool for making sure that the script is restarted if it does crash. In the example below I'm using forever.
npm install forever proxy.js <access key>
To register to recieve notifications for a certain id, the client should send the following JSON payload.
{
"type":"register",
"value":"<id>"
}To send a notification to users registered with a certain id, perform a POST to port 9001 using the following URL and the body containing the notification payload (which could be whatever you want it to be):
/notify?key=<access key specified when starting server>&id=<client registration id>
