With this framework apps can now send messages between worker processes.
A new API function exists:
int kore_msg_register(u_int8_t id, void (*cb)(const void *, u_int32_t);
This API call allows your app to register a new message callback for a given ID.
You can then send messages on this ID to other workers using:
void kore_msg_send(u_int8_t id, void *data, u_int32_t length);
This framework will interally be used for a few things such as allowing
websocket data to broadcasted between all workers, adding unified caching
and hopefully eventually moving the access log to this as well.
Some internals have changed with this commit:
* worker_clients has been called connections.
* the parent now initializes the net, and event subsystems.
* kore_worker_websocket_broadcast() is dead.
Introduces a few new api functions:
- kore_websocket_handshake(struct http_request *):
Performs the handshake on an HTTP request (coming from page handler)
- kore_websocket_send(struct connection *, u_int8_t, void *, size_t):
Sends data to a websocket connection.
- kore_websocket_broadcast(struct connection *, u_int8_t, void *, size_t, int):
Broadcast the given websocket op and data to all connected
websocket clients on the worker. Note that as of right now
the WEBSOCKET_BROADCAST_GLOBAL scope option does not work
yet and messages broadcasted will be restricted to workers
only.
- kore_worker_websocket_broadcast(struct connection *, void *, void *):
Backend function used by kore_websocket_broadcast().
Could prove useful for developers to have access to.
A simple example is given under examples/websocket.
Known issues:
Kore does not support PING or CONT frames just yet.
