The latest Twisted fixes the web.Agent code we need for proper async
support. There's still a daemonization bug that prevents 'wormhole
server start' from succeeding (it hangs).
In the twisted-style code, the close_on_error() decorator forces the
return value to be a Deferred, which is all wrong for internal uses of
derive_key() (verification string and confirmation message). It might be
useful to have a synchronous form of close_on_error(), but since the
actual close() is async, that's not very straightforward.
So for now, tolerate unclosed Wormhole objects when someone calls
derive_key() too early, or with a non-unicode type string.
I was really confused about the Server-Sent Events syntax. This new one
is compatible with actual web browsers and the spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/eventsource/
This requires a DB delete/recreate when upgrading. It changes the server
protocol, and app IDs, so clients cannot interoperate with each other
across this change, nor with the server. Flag day for everyone!
Now apps do not share channel IDs, so a lot of usage of app1 will not
cause the wormhole codes for app2 to get longer.
This removes "side" and "msgnum" from the URLs, and puts them in a JSON
request body instead. The server now maintains a simple set of messages
for each channel-id, and isn't responsible for removing duplicates.
The client now fetches all messages, and just ignores everything it sent
itself. This removes the "reflection attack".
Deallocate now returns JSON, for consistency. DB and API use "phase" and
"body" instead of msgnum/message.
This changes the DB schema, so delete the DB before upgrading the server.
This roughly parallels the way that blocking/eventsource.py and the pypi
"requests" modules work: the server can set the encoding (with
"Content-Type: text/event-stream; charset=utf-8"), and the EventSource
parser will decode accordingly. However eventsource_twisted.py *always*
returns unicode (on both py2/py3), even when the server hasn't set an
encoding. blocking/eventsource.py returns bytes (on py3, and str on py2)
when the server doesn't set an encoding.
In the future, eventsource_twisted.py should return bytes when the
server doesn't set an encoding.
eventsource_twisted.py includes an alternate approach that might be
necessary (a to_unicode() function instead of always using .decode), but
I won't be sure until enough of Twisted has been ported to allow the
EventSourceParser to be tested.
Also fix demo.py for python3.
The main wormhole code is str (unicode in py3, bytes in py2). Most
everything else must be passed as bytes in both py2/py3.
Keep the internal "side" string as a str, to make it easier to merge
with other URL pieces.
