2015-09-17 13:01 AEST by Arthur Barrett - This is related to bug 5258 - which is a web server for cvsmanager (back port from EVS).
There is also value in having a web server on 'client' PC's - though it would need to use some
(random) port and be discovered by the metro client using MDNS first then connect via the port
number found via the MDNS broadcast.
The URL link on this bug, is a discussion about MDNS on Metro apps, and specifically problems with
ARM (because of the broadcom driver) - what's interesting about the examples is that it's proof that
metro apps are expected to be able to do MDNS.
The sorts of things the web server could server are:
- recent sandbox activity (a bit like wincvs/tcvs do)
- recently executed cvs commands (commit etc.)
- cvs client stats (as used for debugging)
They could then be displayed by a native metro app. |
