     1  // HTTP RPC server supporting calls via uri params, jsonrpc, and jsonrpc over websockets
     2  //
     3  // Client Requests
     4  //
     5  // Suppose we want to expose the rpc function `HelloWorld(name string, num int)`.
     6  //
     7  // GET (URI)
     8  //
     9  // As a GET request, it would have URI encoded parameters, and look like:
    10  //
    11  //   curl 'http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name="my_world"&num=5'
    12  //
    13  // Note the `'` around the url, which is just so bash doesn't ignore the quotes in `"my_world"`.
    14  // This should also work:
    15  //
    16  //   curl http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name=\"my_world\"&num=5
    17  //
    18  // A GET request to `/` returns a list of available endpoints.
    19  // For those which take arguments, the arguments will be listed in order, with `_` where the actual value should be.
    20  //
    21  // POST (JSONRPC)
    22  //
    23  // As a POST request, we use JSONRPC. For instance, the same request would have this as the body:
    24  //
    25  //   {
    26  //     "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    27  //     "id": "anything",
    28  //     "method": "hello_world",
    29  //     "params": {
    30  //       "name": "my_world",
    31  //       "num": 5
    32  //     }
    33  //   }
    34  //
    35  // With the above saved in file `data.json`, we can make the request with
    36  //
    37  //   curl --data @data.json http://localhost:8008
    38  //
    39  //
    40  // WebSocket (JSONRPC)
    41  //
    42  // All requests are exposed over websocket in the same form as the POST JSONRPC.
    43  // Websocket connections are available at their own endpoint, typically `/websocket`,
    44  // though this is configurable when starting the server.
    45  //
    46  // Server Definition
    47  //
    48  // Define some types and routes:
    49  //
    50  //    type ResultStatus struct {
    51  //    	    Value string
    52  //    }
    53  //
    54  // Define some routes
    55  //
    56  //   var Routes = map[string]*rpcserver.RPCFunc{
    57  //	    "status": rpcserver.NewRPCFunc(Status, "arg"),
    58  //   }
    59  //
    60  // An rpc function:
    61  //
    62  //   func Status(v string) (*ResultStatus, error) {
    63  //	    return &ResultStatus{v}, nil
    64  //   }
    65  //
    66  // Now start the server:
    67  //
    68  //   mux := http.NewServeMux()
    69  //   rpcserver.RegisterRPCFuncs(mux, Routes)
    70  //   wm := rpcserver.NewWebsocketManager(Routes)
    71  //   mux.HandleFunc("/websocket", wm.WebsocketHandler)
    72  //   logger := log.NewTMLogger(log.NewSyncWriter(os.Stdout))
    73  //   listener, err := rpc.Listen("0.0.0.0:8080", rpcserver.Config{})
    74  //   if err != nil { panic(err) }
    75  //   go rpcserver.StartHTTPServer(listener, mux, logger)
    76  //
    77  // Note that unix sockets are supported as well (eg. `/path/to/socket` instead of `0.0.0.0:8008`)
    78  // Now see all available endpoints by sending a GET request to `0.0.0.0:8008`.
    79  // Each route is available as a GET request, as a JSONRPCv2 POST request, and via JSONRPCv2 over websockets.
