Client for a browser-based content distribution network using WebRTC

var webcdn = new WebCDN();
webcdn.init('ws://webcdn.michelberger.info:1337', function() {
  console.log("Your WebCDN is ready!");
});

Currently, we are offering a coordinator server for testing purposes at ws://webcdn.michelberger.info:1337.

$ bower install webcdn

or

$ npm install webcdn-client

Exposed by including webcdn.jsinto your project.

Creates a new WebCDN client:

var webcdn = new WebCDN();

Optionally, the first argument of the WebCDN constructor can be an options object.

The following options are supported:

• bucketUrl String - Set the root URL for static resource hosting (optional)
• trackGeolocation Boolean - Enable the HTML5 Geolocation API (optional)

Connects to a given coordinatorUrl and fires optionally a callback function with error signature (if any).
The client is automatically a peer of the WebCDN network identified with its uuid.

webcdn.init('ws://webcdn.michelberger.info:1337', function() {
  console.log("Your WebCDN is ready!");
});

Loads a specific resource identified by a unique contentHash, explicitly.

webcdn.load('35c22d5973cb21ae0887eda12185747e7a94cd74');
