This removes the %http-response special case from gall. In its place, we implement a subscription regime with the following steps: - Agent sends %connect to Eyre - Eyre pokes agent with %handle-http-response, including unique eyre-id - Agent passes %start-watching to Eyre with eyre-id and unique app-id - Eyre subscribes to agent on /http-response/app-id - Agent produces a %http-response-header fact followed by 0 or more %http-response-data facts and possibly a %http-response-cancel fact - Agent produces a %kick to close the subscription, which Eyre interprets as completion of the message. This works when there is data. There is currently a bug where if the response has no data in total (as in the case of a naked 404), no response will be sent. This also includes lib/http-handler, which implements a convenient interface for agents that want to respond immediately with all the data. This lets them avoid carrying extra state to keep track of pending requests. This should really have access to your state and the ability to change it. Perhaps a more minimalist design would be better: just keep track of the requests, then hand it off to +on-watch when eyre is ready to receive responses. It's not clear how to pass in the request data in +on-watch. |

Urbit
A personal server operating function.
The Urbit address space, Azimuth, is now live on the Ethereum blockchain. You can find it at
0x223c067f8cf28ae173ee5cafea60ca44c335fecborazimuth.eth. Owners of Azimuth points (galaxies, stars, or planets) can view or manage them using Bridge, and can also use them to boot Arvo, the Urbit OS.
Install
To install and run Urbit, please follow the instructions at urbit.org/docs/getting-started/. You'll be on the live network in a few minutes.
If you're interested in Urbit development, keep reading.
Development
Urbit uses Nix to manage builds. On Linux and macOS you can install Nix via:
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
The Makefile in the project's root directory contains useful phony targets for building, installing, testing, and so on. You can use it to avoid dealing with Nix explicitly.
To build Urbit, for example, use:
make build
The test suite can similarly be run via a simple:
make test
Note that some of the Makefile targets need access to pills tracked via git LFS, so you'll also need to have those available locally:
git lfs install
git lfs pull
