Re: [ccextractor-users] GSOC Student Introduction

Hey,

I got the ccextractor-server which is the proof of concept mentioned
in the "Worldwide repository" project and played around with it.

Now as I understand we want to use Google App Engine to employ this
server which receives data from various sources and also provide a
User Interface to view this data.

The server currently has two components:
1. A C implementation to which anyone can connect and stream data,
server writes data to DB.
2. A PHP based web server which can be used to view live data and also
query past data.

Then, if we use google app engine, then the second component can be
easily done in either PHP or Python. But,
1. A C implementation will not work there, and
2. Google app engine doesn't allow listening sockets.
I was thinking of ways to do this using Google App Engine. Any ideas?

Currently ccextractor uses only TCP to send data in BIN format to
server. What other protocols need to be implemented as part of "Real
time uploading"?

Is email on the list the best way for communication? It isn't very active.
