Re: Nio source (or protocol description)

[Jeff Lindsay]

Hey Serge,

CC'd the notify.io Google Group.

It's not technically long polling, it's a full persistent connection (or long polling with no timeout). We'll be documenting more of it in the coming month. You can also look at Nio, our Mac client: github.com/progrium/Nio

Definitely look forward to any contributions from you!

Hi,

After hearing about notify.io, the first thing I wanted to do was write
a simple notify-osd (Ubuntu) client and go at it.

But I can't find any example client code. I imagine the client just
makes a long poll request and recieves some data.

I imagine I could read the server code but is the nio code available or
a description of the conents of the returned data.

Thanks,

- Serge

Hi Serge,

I've written a libnotify client for notify.io - the source code is here:

https://home.flowblok.id.au/hg/flowblok/unmaintained/libnotifyio/

As you can see by the commit dates, I haven't given it much thought for some time,

but it does still work (at least for me!), so it might be of use to you.

My client was based off a client doing the same thing, but using twisted:

the source code for that is here: http://github.com/novas0x2a/tynio

Regards,

  Peter

I picked up the same tynio code and made it work again:
