The Seamless shareserver

The purpose of the shareserver is that you can share cell values over HTTP. That means that you can see the cell value when you type its URL in your browser. In addition, if you use a Seamless project, a web interface is automatically generated from all shared cells. By default, shared cells are readonly, and can only be visualized. Shared cells with readonly disabled can also be edited via a web interface.

The shareserver is to share Seamless cells via its REST API. By default, the REST port is 5813 In addition, the shareserver sends notifications via Websocket connections, served at port 5138 The primary ways to interact with the share server are:

• The browser, for GET requests. http://localhost:5813/ctx/a will get the value of cell “a”, if it has been shared

• The seamless-http-put command, for PUT requests.

• The seamless client (seamless-client.js)
