quassel-proxy

A proxy between Javascript websocket client (browser) and quasselcore

❗ This project was just a POC and will not be updated anymore, the real usable one is quassel-webserver

How to use

Work in progress

On the server

Install the proxy with:

git clone https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-proxy.git
cd quassel-proxy
npm install --production

or to update npm update

and run the following command: node lib/quassel-proxy.js --port 64004

The proxy is now running.

⚠️ In order to have a fully working test version, your node version should be at least v0.11.13

In the browser

Demo

With the proxy running, open index.html (from client directory) in your favorite browser. Fill in the inputs :

Websocket host is the ip/name of the server your proxy is running on
Websocket port is the port specified when the proxy was launched (here 64004)
The 4 next inputs are informations about your quasselcore

When hitting Connect button, you should start seeing some responses from the quassel server.

Technical details

The proxy server acts like a basic libquassel client.

By default, events are not streamed to the browser.

socket.emit('register', 'buffer.highlight']);
socket.emit('register', 'login']);
//...

Using EventReceiver class allows to triggers events callbacks in the wanted order. It is also used to automatically register events (see script.js).

To be able to use client side libquassel as if we were using it directly on the server, we must sync the whole NetworkCollection tree Object between the server and the client. It can be a little long to fetch the tree the first time, but when modifications are made server side thereafter, only patches are sent to the client (thanks to Object.Observe method).

For more details, see script.js file.
