syncevo-dbus-server/syncevolution-http-server.py: SyncML HTTP server
This uses the new combined client/server Synthesis engine. When
building shared modules, the engine is opened dynamically only
while needed, thus reducing overall memory consumption.
The HTTP server is implemented in Python, using the the 'twisted'
server framework because it can use the same glib event loop as the
D-Bus binding. This allows us to keep the same event loop running
forever and react to both kinds of events.
The server takes a base url (including host name and port)
and a default configuration as name. The host name is currently
ignored. It could be used to bind to a specific interface.
The path is what a client has to use as part of his sync URL
to synchronize against the default configuration. In addition
the client can add another path to select that as his server
configuration.
For example, if the script is called with
http://localhost:9000/syncevolution default
then syncURL = http://localhost:9000/syncevolution will synchronize
against the configuration called "default". With syncURL =
http://localhost:9000/syncevolution/my_server, it will
synchronize against "my_server".
