Overview

A simple prototype to test out SockJS w/Redis pub/sub for a scalable push channel

First, install stuff

brew install node 
brew install redis
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
npm install redis
npm install sockjs
npm install node-static

Start servers

redis-server
node notification.js

Load client pages

http://localhost:8000

Send some messages

Either from each client or via the API

curl -X POST -d "uid=1234" -d "msg=hello to 1234" http://localhost:8001
curl -X POST -d "msg=hello to all" http://localhost:8001
