"""
The HTTP backend is a general-purpose web server that you can leverage:
* To execute Platypush commands via HTTP calls. Example::
curl -XPOST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "X-Token: your_token" \\
-d '{
"type":"request",
"target":"nodename",
"action":"tts.say",
"args": {"phrase":"This is a test"}
}' \\
http://localhost:8008/execute
* To interact with your system (and control plugins and backends) through the Platypush web panel,
by default available on your web root document. Any plugin that you have configured and available as a panel
plugin will appear on the web panel as well as a tab.
* To display a fullscreen dashboard with your configured widgets, by default available under ``/dashboard``
* To stream media over HTTP through the ``/media`` endpoint
Any plugin can register custom routes under ``platypush/backend/http/app/routes/plugins``.
Any additional route is managed as a Flask blueprint template and the `.py`
module can expose lists of routes to the main webapp through the
``__routes__`` object (a list of Flask blueprints).
Note that if you set up a main token, it will be required for any HTTP
interaction - either as ``X-Token`` HTTP header, on the query string
(attribute name: ``token``), as part of the JSON payload root (attribute
name: ``token``), or via HTTP basic auth (any username works).
Requires:
* **flask** (``pip install flask``)
* **redis** (``pip install redis``)
* **websockets** (``pip install websockets``)
* **python-dateutil** (``pip install python-dateutil``)
* **magic** (``pip install python-magic``), optional, for MIME type
support if you want to enable media streaming
* **uwsgi** (``pip install uwsgi`` plus uwsgi server installed on your
system if required) - optional but recommended. By default the
Platypush web server will run in a process spawned on the fly by
the HTTP backend. However, being a Flask app, it will serve clients
in a single thread and won't support many features of a full-blown
web server.
Base command to run the web server over uwsgi::
uwsgi --http :8008 --module platypush.backend.http.uwsgi --master --processes 4 --threads 4
Bear in mind that the main webapp is defined in ``platypush.backend.http.app:application``
and the WSGI startup script is stored under ``platypush/backend/http/uwsgi.py``.

widgets: # Each row of the dashboard will have 6 columns
-
widget: calendar # Calendar widget

widget: music # Music widget
columns: 3

images_path: ~/Dropbox/Photos/carousel
refresh_seconds: 15
-
widget: rss-news # RSS feeds widget

:param uwsgi_args: If ``run_externally`` is set and you would like the
HTTP backend to directly spawn and control the uWSGI application
server instance, then pass the list of uWSGI arguments through
this parameter. Some examples include::

# processes
['--plugin', 'python', '--http-socket', ':8008', '--master', '--processes', '4']
# Start uWSGI instance listening on uWSGI socket on port 3031.
# You can then use another full-blown web server, like nginx
# or Apache, to communicate with the uWSGI instance
['--plugin', 'python', '--socket', '127.0.0.1:3031', '--master', '--processes', '4']
