Description-en: HTTP reverse proxy server for streaming and long-polling services
Pushpin is a reverse proxy server that makes it easy to implement
WebSocket, HTTP streaming, and HTTP long-polling services. It communicates
with backend web applications using regular, short-lived HTTP requests
(GRIP protocol). This allows backend applications to be written in any
language and use any webserver.
.
Additionally, Pushpin does all of this without exposing a proprietary
protocol to clients. The HTTP/WebSocket content between the client
and your server is whatever you want it to be. This makes it ideal for
implementing APIs.
.
Pushpin is written in C++. The name means to "pin" (hold) connections
open for "pushing".
