It now returns the seq of the just-added message if one was added, and
None otherwise. The previous behaviour was to return True and False
respectively.
This commit adds a unix socket on which you can receive internal events
as they happen. Currently the only supported event is a chat message
being added. Intended for external applications that depend on chat
messages, e.g. text-to-speech or Twitch Plays Pokémon.
By default the buffer is exhausted every 4 seconds. This should defend against
a potential DoS against clients with JavaScript enabled. Before this, any
request with no token would generate a new user and immediately broadcast the
new user to all the websockets. It's best to lock down as much as possible the
number of places a client can cause the server to broadcasts to all the
websockets.
Incoming requests are handled in anonstream/routes/. Route handlers
mainly depend on files in anonstream/, which in turn depend on files in
anonstream/helpers/ and anonstream/utils/. Utils are pure functions and
helpers are almost pure functions; they don't mutate state but they
do depend on the global app config.
