The program I'm writing uses AMP for peer to peer communication. I like AMP because it's natively asynchronous, has multi-language support, and efficient, not wasting resources on HTTP headers, etc. There are times when I need to send files, 1-2 MB over the connection. AMP provides a binary type, but it's limited to 64k, so I'd have to split the files up and make 16+ calls to transfer a single file. So I need to switch to a more appropriate (not yet determined) protocol for the transfer, and then back to AMP. AMP provides a protocol switch command, which is great, but then I'd need to switch back to AMP and I have no idea what approach to take here. It doesn't help that I don't have a file transfer protocol selected.
Speaking of file transfer protocol , Twisted's FTP seems like overkill for my simple scenario, though if I could harness the functionality I need, I'd use it. I've also read up on Twisted's Producer/Consumer approach, which I'm thinking if I have to roll my own, this is the path I should take. However, I surely can't be the first person in more than a decade to want to transfer a file while speaking AMP.
So, how do I switch back from a file transfer protocol to AMP and what existing protocol, if any, should I use for the transfer?
Thanks so much. -Randall
