HttpEvents 1.0

HttpEvents is a REST-ful HTTP-based mechanism for publish/subscribe services with low latency and low overhead. It allows a subscriber to keep a local copy of a publication that lags behind the original by seconds, not minutes or hours, yet no network traffic is produced when there are no updates, keeping the publisher's server load low. In contrast, polling must trade overhead against latency, creating bandwidth problems for popular publishers that may shut the service down. An open-source library of PHP headers and scripts implementing HttpEvents. Specifically, there is a header implementing general HttpEvents functions (the HTTP calls required by the specification), and two scripts implementing publish and subscribe for a specific subscription format: blacklists. As the primary aim of this project is the creation of a peer-to-peer anti-spam network, homepage can be used out-of-the-box with little configuration to subscribe to (or host) a HttpEvents-published blacklist. This lets your wiki/blog become immune to new spam as fast as the publisher can send an update to your server, without swamping them with HTTP traffic. The hardest part is configuring your site to block the spam; this will require tinkering with the engine you are using.
