http.pubsub Plugin
The pubsub plugin implements a longpoll-based publish and subscribe middleware for Caddy. It lets you easily push event notifications to any practical number of web clients. To publish an event, post content that includes a category and body to the “publish” URL configured in the Caddyfile. To subscribe to published events, simply connect your web client to the “subscribe” URL configured in the Caddyfile. To manage the subscription connection, include the small, dependency-free file ps.js in your web application and use the non-blocking methods of a Subscriber instance.
Examples
In the Caddyfile:
pubsub /chat/publish /chat/subscribe
From a browser or wget:
https://example.com/chat/publish?category=team&body=Hello%20world
In this example, the body “Hello world” is dispatched to all subscribers of the “team” category. In general, you will want to restrict access to the publish and subscribe URLs, something that this example does not demonstrate.
