Todo List - Roadmap #9

Presentation

• Fix the READMEs of webcommand/webcommand-app/webcommand-index
• Find how where to add manpage in the sites
• Fixup a bit the HTML/CSS of webcommand-app/webcommand-index
• Provide instruction - free apps to sponsor webcommand services, may involve auto submit a pull request to add a service.

New Functionality

• Add URL -> filename auto-conversion
• Provide a reverse index - list of servers for each unix command, ordered by recent response time.
• get stderr to the HTTP error stream
• Change UI - prefill http, ask for hostname only, fetch commands on update and fill-in dropdown
• Add a third param donotfetchurl if set urls are not converted
• Add a service that given a command gives back a server that serves the command
• Allow passing of command names - not just urls as pipes in which case a server is automatically found (if the command is not available locally)
• provide a command line command like rcat that would allow you to use web commands from the command line (similar to test command)
  assume like the symbols '][' "rcat xxx ][ sort .... ][ grep ... etc .. which

Testing

• Add test for clocserverver, webcommand-app (move the command specific tests from webcommand)
• Add test for webcommand-express
• Add pipe testing at webcommand-express

Refactoring

• Add at the webcommand level add a utility function that takes a wc {cmd : ..., args = [ ], pipes : [ { } { } ]} and converts it into a url and reverse
• rewrite webcommand-app to use webcommand-express
• Refactor both server/clients to use it - use browserify to pull the library.
• Change webcommand-express tests to use promises and minimize replication of code
• Fix cloc service - upgrade it to use webcommand
