### License
-As of today, the code is licensed under GLPv3. While no decision as been taken yet,
-it will certainly switch to a different licence: GPLv2, Apache or MIT e.g..
-
-Final goal is to keep the engine publicly accessible and modifiable, still allowing people to load non open-source plugins.
-The code itself already leverages open-source libraries, including libmicrohttpd & libjson.
-
-Finally, whatever license is chosen, it should be compatible with dependencies and automotive industry requirements - as the primary target for this code is AGL.

### Building
Building Application Framework Binder has been tested under **Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)** or **Fedora 23**, and requires the following libraries:
or under Fedora (excepting libmicrohttpd and rtl-sdr):
```
$ dnf install git passwd iproute openssh-server openssh-client openssh-server # Tools needed on top of Docker Minimal Fedora
-$ dnf install file-devel gcc gdb make pkgconfig cmake # install gcc developement tool chain + cmake
-$ dnf install file-devel json-c-devel libuuid-devel systemd-devel openssl-devel
+$ dnf install file-devel gcc gdb make pkgconfig cmake # install gcc development tool chain + cmake
+$ dnf install file-devel json-c-devel libuuid-devel systemd-devel openssl-devel
$ dnf install alsa-lib-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel glib2-devel gupnp-av-devel # optional but require to build audio plugin
```
$ git clone https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/src/app-framework-binder ${AFB_DAEMON_DIR}
$ cd ${AFB_DAEMON_DIR}

### REST API
Developers are intended to provide a structure containing : API name, corresponding methods/callbacks, and optionally a context and a handle.
-A handle is a void* structure automatically passed to API callbacks.
-Callbacks also receive HTTP GET data as well as HTTP POST data, in case a POST method was used.
+A handle is a void* structure automatically passed to API callbacks.
+Callbacks also receive HTTP GET data as well as HTTP POST data, in case a POST method was used.
Every method should return a JSON object or NULL in case of error.
API plugins can be protected from timeout and other errors. By default this behaviour is deactivated, use --apitimeout to activate it.

### HTML5 and AngularJS Redirects
-Binder supports HTML5 redirect mode even with an application baseurl.
-Default value for application base URL is /opa.

See Application Framework HTML5 Client template at https://github.com/iotbzh/afb-client-sample
-If the Binder receives something like _http://myopa/sample_ when sample is not the homepage of the AngularJS OPA,
-it will redirect to _http://myopa/#!sample_.
+If the Binder receives something like _http://myopa/sample_ when sample is not the homepage of the AngularJS OPA,
+it will redirect to _http://myopa/#!sample_.
This redirect will return the _index.html_ OPA file and will notify AngularJS not to display the homepage, but the sample page.
-Warning: in order for AngularJS applications to be able to work with both BASEURL="/" and BASEURL="/MyApp/", all page references have to be relative.
+Warning: in order for AngularJS applications to be able to work with both BASEURL="/" and BASEURL="/MyApp/", all page references have to be relative.
Recommended model is to develop with a BASEURL="/opa" as any application working with a BASEURL will work without, while the opposite is not true.
-Note: If a resource is not accessible from ROOTDIR then the "--alias" switch should be used, as in: --alias=/icons:/usr/share/icons.

Only use alias for external support static files. This should not be used for API and OPA.
