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.)
Was coming in as a string when called via curl. This may be a problem
for other ints if I go with lots of params instead of a json, which is
looking less likely.
join's how devices will create or join existing games. It more
compilicated than I'd like but seems to work except that once a slot's
assigned it's unavailable to anybody else even if the other fails ever
to respond (i.e. needs the ACK function of the c++ relay.)
If I want to move relaycon into common so Android can use it (assuming
the jni code starts including json-c and libcurl so it can handle
networking) I'll need a replacement for GSList. This is a start.
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.
Change how acks are handled by adding ability to look up connname by
combination of hid and token. It's a bit of a hack, but it's already
there in the protocol and enough to find the game.
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.
Somehow I've been failing to treat this column as an array for some
time. I don't have any test cases that failed but it was clearly
wrong. Test cases still pass....
It's a runtime-only thing, explicitly removed from db on boot. So add a
map from connname->cid to the dbmgr class and modify that rather than a
column. Passes discon_ok2.sh tests as long as use-http stuff isn't on.
