HTTP API

Now Philote has a (very simple) HTTP API available.

I'll be adding message posting via HTTP, but for now the only endpoint implemented is /api/info, which returns general information about the running philote instance receiving it.

The authentication mechanism is the same as when a websocket connection is attempted: an Authorization header consisting on Bearer <your JWT>. The token, however, needs to be created with an api: true claim.

This is a sample of what the endpoint returns at this point in time:

{
  "version": "0.3.0",
  "go_arch": "amd64",
  "go_os": "darwin",
  "go_version": "go1.8.3",
  "num_cpu": 4,
  "uptime_in_seconds": 28,
  "uptime_in_days": 0,
  "tcp_port": "6380",
  "pid": 88052,
  "connections": 0,
  "max_connections": 255,
  "read_buffer_size": 1024,
  "write_buffer_size": 1024,
  "check_origin": false
}
