Cirrus January 2011 update

January 21st, 2011

Regarding the latest info from Michael Thornburg (Adobe) Codename Cirrus got refreshed and you can now leverage new two features.

One of them is sending developer key as as a second parameter of connect method, which improves security as key is not transmitted via URI.

So now you can call:

   var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
   nc.connect("rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net", "000000000000000000000000-000000000000");

Second feature enables you to send direct relayed messages to clients, this can be helpful for some kind of signaling or init. We highly recommend to use this only one or twice per connection as it consumes much more resources on Cirrus than P2P introduction.

  // on sender peerID 9876 sending to peerID 1234
   nc.call("relay", null, "1234", "INVITE");
 
   // on receiver peerID 1234, this callback happens
   nc.client.onRelay("9876", "INVITE");
