Flash Police Server

Written in go. Available as a executable as well as a library.

Obtaining

Assuming you have go installed and GOROOT environment variable set.

$ go get github.com/amitu/fps

This will download amitu/fps from github and build/install it as a library.

Executable

To build the executable:

$ go install github.com/amitu/fps/fps

This will build executable named fps and install it in your $GOPATH/bin.

To run the executable:

$ $GOROOT/bin/fps policy.xml:localhost:843 policy2.xml:localhost:8000

This will launch two servers, one listening on 883, serving content of policy.xml and the other listening on 8000 and serving the content of policy2.xml. You can pass as many file:host:port arguments as you want.

To serve the requests, fps will launch 10 workers, these 10 workers are shared with all servers started. You can pass --workers=20 to change the number of workers. If you want to start different set of workers for different servers, consider using fps as a library.

fps by default runs in non-strict mode. The policy server protocol expects a request from client, before it sends the content of policy file. By default this implementation simply writes the content of policy file as soon as a client is connected, without reading anything from client. You can call fps with --strict=true to change this behaviour (not yet implemented).

To cleanly stop all servers, send SIGINT to the server, or press Ctrl-C.

fps Library

The library can be used by importing github.com/amitu/pfs. The documentation of library is available at godocs.
