How to use

1. Run file example.js to start the server
2. Start clients

• For Node.js clients:
  • File example.js you ran in step 1 includes example for Node.js proxy clients
• For Java clients:
  • Use this repository to get code for proxy client: https://github.com/gigasource/proxy-client-java
  • Run file src/Example.java to start 2 clients as 2 devices with different clientId

3. Make a GET request at path /clients to retrieve list of connected clients
4. Make a POST request at path /start-proxy to create a proxy server, clientId must be included in request body

• Sample request body:

{"clientId": "device2"}

• Sample response:

{"proxyPort": 10012}

• Use the returned proxyPort to connect to the proxy, in this case go to localhost:10012 with your browser to connect to the proxy
• Note: a proxy client can be created multiple times with different ports

5. When finish using the proxy, make a POST request at path /stop-proxy to stop TCP server and free used port

• Sample request body 1: stop all proxies of a client

{"clientId": "device"}

• Sample request body 2: stop a proxy at a specific port of a client:

{"clientId": "device", "port":  10012}
