This is a HTTP to WebSockets proxy written in Go. It is not meant as a general purpose proxy, but rather as a proxy between the minecraft-commander and mineslave projects.

The minecraft-commander code was migrated from using WebSockets to HTTP calls to communicate with the mineslave Bukkit plugin. The mineslave plugin would have to be updated to support HTTP calls, but the web server implementations in Java seemed too complicated, while Go's implementations seemed much cleaner. This project exists to allow minecraft-commander to use HTTP calls, while for mineslave to continue using the old WebSocket-based implementation.

The code here operates as both a web server and as a WebSocket client.

When a HTTP POST request is received, a WebSocket connection is initiated to the mineslave plugin running on localhost:8080. The player name is transmitted, followed by the request's body. Afterwards, we wait for both transmissions' return messages and send back the second return message for the HTTP client (minecraft-commander).
