Commander

This is a small request/response server written in rust that talks a HTTP-like protocol based on protobuf.

Production

Please never use this in production :)

StreamReader

I am experimenting a lot with a buffered reader, that i think is pretty slow, and pretty non-rustic in it's implementation: still, i like to have fun with it.

Examples

For examples on how to use it, see:

1. the tests under tests/
2. the simple_host and simple_client under examples/

I you want to see the examples running, do this from two shells (current directory is the root of the commander repo):

# shell 1
cargo run --example simple_host

# shell 2
cargo run --example simple_client

# shell 2 outputs: client got: Hello from Example. Got: hello from simple_client

Nextgen

I am currently looking into using the rsa crate: rsa = { version = "0.9", features = ["sha2", "pem"] } for simple encryption/decrypting and message signing. More on this later. Again: this shouldn't be used in production as well :)
