Module http

HTTP signaling transport configuration.

This module defines the HTTP-specific signaling transport configuration for WebRTC connections in Mina Rust’s peer-to-peer network.

HTTP Signaling

HTTP signaling provides a simple, widely-supported transport method for WebRTC offer/answer exchange. It uses standard HTTP requests to POST WebRTC offers to signaling servers and receive answers in response.

Transport Characteristics

• Request/Response Model: Uses HTTP POST for offer delivery
• Stateless: Each signaling exchange is independent
• Firewall Friendly: Works through most corporate firewalls and proxies
• Simple Implementation: Requires only basic HTTP client functionality

URL Structure

HTTP signaling info encodes the host and port information needed to construct signaling server URLs. The format is:

• String representation: /{host}/{port}
• Full URL: http(s)://{host}:{port}/mina/webrtc/signal

Security Considerations

HTTP signaling can use either HTTP or HTTPS depending on the signaling method variant. HTTPS is recommended for production environments to protect signaling data and prevent tampering during transmission.
