It breaks rematch that "dict" is being passed to the Android client from
the linux side, and this is easier than figuring out how and when to
dereference the link.
Ideally the comms module wouldn't go through its connecting routine in
order to join a game. To that end I added a join() method to relay.py
and code to call it. Joins happen (pairing games, starting new ones,
etc.), but after that communication doesn't. First part of fixing that
would be to make cookieID persistent and transmit it back with the rest
of what join sends (since it's used by all the messages currently sent
in a connected state), but I suspect there's more to be done, and even
that requires a fair number of changes on the relay side. So all that's
wrapped in #ifdef RELAY_VIA_HTTP (and turned off.)
With the new http stuff, at least for now, it takes longer to get things
communicated and so killing games after 2 seconds of runtime meant no
moves ever got made. Making it configurable, and passing 10 (seconds)
means nearly all games in a large test run complete reasonably quickly.
ACK doesn't need to wait 2 seconds for a reply, and when it does so the
next send waits too. Eventually we'll want to combine messages already
in the queue into a single send. For now, this makes things better.
using g_add_idle() for each piece of data received on the (background)
curl-query thread wasn't working. They were getting starved, and I think
some were considered duplicates and never scheduled. So add a single
timer proc called every 50 ms and a queue that it checks and into which
the network thread can put stuff.
So far uses curl and json-c to send b64-encoded data to new script
which is able to echo the data. Next that script will need to open a
UDP socket to the relay and return results that appear before timeout.
