PURPOSE: This small library provides an events interface using comets to your C++ programs. USAGE: Client side- * You will POST to /EVENTS.LIST on the port you specified in the ctor in your server program * On first request, post a value 'events' with a pipe-seperated or colon-seperated list of GUID's representing your events. * When you get the request back, note the highest sequence value. You will use this value + 1 in your next request. * On all requests after the first one, you should specify your last known sequence with an http header X-RESTCOMET-SEQUENCE. * If a sequence is not specified, you will get all events that match your event mask that happen after your request. * The reason for the sequence is so that you do not miss events in between your POST requests. * Your events will show up as a MIME multipart response with 200 OK, where each component has a type of "application/restcomet-event" * Each event has the following format: S[NUM] G[STRING] T[NUM] L[NUM] DATADATADATADATA.... * Where: S is the sequence, G is the GUID of the event, T is the timestamp (epoch), and L is the exact length of the data, in bytes In between the restcomet header and the data, is always on CRLF pair. This is not part of the L (length) Server side- * Come up with a list of well know GUID's and decide on an event format. Event data is opaque to this library; you can even use binary if you'd like, although I wouldn't recommend it (read the 'Art of UNIX Programming', it's fantastic) * In your program, grab an instance using the Instance() static method (restcomet is a singleton object) * Call the SubmitEvent method with a GUID and some data.
