mbroker_http

HTTP-based message broker

Introduction

This is a trivial message broker implementation that utilizes HTTP as its transport. I built this purely as a project to learn node.js. It is certainly not intended to be production-grade software.

Installation

1. wget 'https://github.com/ycombinator/mbroker_http/archive/master.zip'
2. cd mbroker_http-master
3. npm install

Startup

1. node app.js

HTTP APIs

GET /topics

Send a message to topic(s)

POST /messages { "to": [ "topic1", "topic2" ], "message": "Hello" }

Get all unread messages in a topic
