-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.

### Starting
### 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. Every method should return a JSON object or NULL in case of error.

+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_. 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.
