Websocket Connections

[Volte6]

Websocket connections work now, and there is a basic web "terminal" that serves up from the mud server.

For now I have a test server running on a raspberry pi at:

http://gomud.net/

Feel free to test it out a little bit. Might be some bugs here or there since over the last week or two I overhauled quite a lot of code somewhat fearlessly.

There are a several hidden commands you can enter, but some that may be interesting to some:

!raw - View server messages in raw format.

This toggles whether the output will show the raw data coming from the server vs. the nice looking colored output etc.

What's interesting here is you can see the benefits of using my custom tags for coloring - when sending to telnet, I translate it into ANSI escape codes, but when sending to a websocket, I send it raw, and let the web client convert it into codes with CSS colors.

!net - Print out network traffic stats

clear - Clear the screen

There are a couple others, but they are mostly for debugging purposes.

Webclient should now save any changes you make to the button bar or if you change the default color with setDefaultColor("{color}") in the browser console.

I think that's it for changes to the webclient for now, it's "good enough" for testing purposes. I don't want it to become its own maintenance project, plus its the sort of thing that anyone could either submit a PR for if they have additions, or even create completely new ones from the ground up using the exiting code as a starter/example.
