Class HttpMessenger

java.lang.Object

me.lucko.helper.messaging.http.HttpMessenger

All Implemented Interfaces:

Messenger

public class HttpMessenger
extends Object
implements Messenger

Proof of concept Messenger implementation using the HTTP protocol.

Unlike the helper-redis implementation, this class can only facilitate the communication between two clients at a time. However, unlike redis, the connection is direct.

The messenger works by sending/receiving HTTP POST requests. It is a simple (not necessarily the most efficient) implementation, which could be quite easily optimised if necessary - pooling connections would be a start!

Of course, a messenger using plain TCP sockets (optionally with a library like netty) could work just as well.
