Fanout is meant to creat a simple pubsub server to handle sending messages and receiving messages on different channels. Protocol: ping - replies with current timestamp on the server info - replies with some basic info about the server subcribe <channel> unsubscribe <channel> announce <channel> <message> Each request sent to the server must end with a \n. This means neither <channel> nor <message> can contain a \n itself directly (of course all of them can be encoded ie: base64). <channel> must not contain the '!' character or spaces. <message> can contain the '!' character Each message announced on a channel will be sent out as: <channel>!<message> ending with \n to all the subscribed clients. 2 special channels are automatically created and should not be used. all - every client connected to the service is subscribed to this channel debug - is used to send back messages to individual clients, for example upon connection "debug!connected..." is sent to confirm connection.
