Push Additional Peer Data after Peer Connection

[wooliet]

Feature Request

When hitting the root "cloud" instance, each server object in the returned links collection includes that server instance's custom properties.

{
  "title": "server-id",
  "rel": [
    "http://rels.zettajs.io/server"
  ],
  "href": "http://localhost:1337/servers/server-id",
  "properties": {
    "name": "server-id",
    "displayName": "detroit1"
  }
},
{
  "title": "peer-id",
  "rel": [
      "http://rels.zettajs.io/peer",
      "http://rels.zettajs.io/server"
  ],
  "href": "http://localhost:1337/servers/peer-id",
  "properties": {
    "name": "peer-id",
    "displayName": "detroit2"
  }
}

So Far

I've updated _renderRoot in lib/api_resources/root.js to include properties, which covers the root server "rel" entry.

env.response.body = {
  class: ['root'],
  links: [
    {
      rel: [rels.self],
      href: env.helpers.url.current()
    },
    {
      title: this.server._name,
      rel: [rels.server],
      href: env.helpers.url.path('/servers/' + encodeURI(this.server.id) ),
      properties: this.server.getProperties()
    },

What's Next

The data saved for each peer'd server in the registry does not include its properties. I have not been able to figure out how to push that data from the connected zetta client to the zetta "cloud" instance after a peer connection is established.

I imagined an event like "_peer/properties" sent over the connection once it's established, and again after any call to Zetta.prototype.properties. But nothing I've tried has worked.

Can you guys point me towards a possible solution?
