Usage/API:

1. create AppNet client

var APPNET = require('appnet.link');
var nmcln = new APPNET({
  usrinfo: {domain: '51dese.com', usrkey: 'dese'}, // fill usrkey. And, 51dese.com is only useful domain by now
});
nmcln.on('ready', function(){
  console.log('appnet.link ready with vURL:'+nmcln.vurl);
  // ...
});

2. hook node.js web server in peer. Websocket server is supported with wspp module as well. This is an express App example. file peerweb.js.

var express = require('express');
var WebSocket = require('wspp').wspp;
var WebSocketServer = WebSocket.Server;
var APPNET = require('appnet.link');
var nmcln = new APPNET({
  usrinfo: {domain: '51dese.com', usrkey: 'dese'}, // fill your usrkey. And, 51dese.com is only useful domain by now
});
nmcln.on('ready', function(){
  // 2.1
  // create your express App
  var app = express();
  app.use(express.directory(__dirname + '/public'));
  app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
  app.use(function(req, res){
      res.end('invalid path');
  });
  // hook app on business server
  nmcln.bsrv.srv.on('request', app);
  console.log('Now access your web server via URL:'+nmcln.vurl);
  // 2.2
  // create your websocket server
  var wss = new WebSocketServer({httpp: true, server: nmcln.bsrv.srv});
  wss.on('connection', function(client){
    console.log('new ws connection');
  });
  console.log('Now connect to your websocket server via URL:'+nmcln.vurl);
});
