/*
HTTP RPC server supporting calls via uri params, jsonrpc, and jsonrpc over websockets
# Client Requests
Suppose we want to expose the rpc function `HelloWorld(name string, num int)`.
## GET (URI)
As a GET request, it would have URI encoded parameters, and look like:
```
curl 'http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name="my_world"&num=5'
```
Note the `'` around the url, which is just so bash doesn't ignore the quotes in `"my_world"`.
This should also work:
```
curl http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name=\"my_world\"&num=5
```
A GET request to `/` returns a list of available endpoints.
For those which take arguments, the arguments will be listed in order, with `_` where the actual value should be.
## POST (JSONRPC)
As a POST request, we use JSONRPC. For instance, the same request would have this as the body:
```
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": "anything",
"method": "hello_world",
"params": {
"name": "my_world",
"num": 5
}
}
```
With the above saved in file `data.json`, we can make the request with
```
curl --data @data.json http://localhost:8008
```
## WebSocket (JSONRPC)
All requests are exposed over websocket in the same form as the POST JSONRPC.
Websocket connections are available at their own endpoint, typically `/websocket`,
though this is configurable when starting the server.
# Server Definition
Define some types and routes:
```
type ResultStatus struct {
Value string
}
// HTTP RPC server supporting calls via uri params, jsonrpc, and jsonrpc over websockets
//
// Client Requests
//

// }
// }
//

//

//
//

//

// Websocket connections are available at their own endpoint, typically `/websocket`,
// though this is configurable when starting the server.
//
// Server Definition
//
// Define some types and routes:
//
// type ResultStatus struct {
// Value string
// }
//
// Define some routes
var Routes = map[string]*rpcserver.RPCFunc{
"status": rpcserver.NewRPCFunc(Status, "arg"),
}
// an rpc function
func Status(v string) (*ResultStatus, error) {
return &ResultStatus{v}, nil
}
```
Now start the server:
```
mux := http.NewServeMux()
rpcserver.RegisterRPCFuncs(mux, Routes)
wm := rpcserver.NewWebsocketManager(Routes)
mux.HandleFunc("/websocket", wm.WebsocketHandler)
logger := log.NewTMLogger(log.NewSyncWriter(os.Stdout))
go func() {
_, err := rpcserver.StartHTTPServer("0.0.0.0:8008", mux, logger)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}()
```
Note that unix sockets are supported as well (eg. `/path/to/socket` instead of `0.0.0.0:8008`)
Now see all available endpoints by sending a GET request to `0.0.0.0:8008`.
Each route is available as a GET request, as a JSONRPCv2 POST request, and via JSONRPCv2 over websockets.

* [tm-monitor](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/tools/tm-monitor/rpc.go)
