Dovetail is a toolkit for assembling XMPP components such as bots and PubSub (XEP-0060) servers.
Install switchboard:
$ sudo gem install mojodna-switchboard -s http://gems.github.com
Start the component:
$ bin/dovetail
You'll need to edit the DEFAULT_SETTINGS in bin/dovetail to point at a
Jabber server with component access. You'll also need a second Jabber server
that you can connect to as a client in order to make requests to the
component.
(Asynchronously) query a web service with switchboard:
$ switchboard --jid client@xmpp-server --password pa55word \
pubsub \
--server component-server \
--node "http://github.com/api/v1/json/mojodna/switchboard/commits/master" \
items
This will query a node on your Jabber server for available (persisted) items. For "nodes" supported through Dovetail, this means that a GET request will be made to the URL corresponding to the node name and the response will be packaged up as a PubSub response.
