> Want a Watson IoTP device connector that uses HTTP
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: EDGENT-375
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EDGENT-375
> Project: Edgent
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors
> Reporter: Dale LaBossiere
> Assignee: Dale LaBossiere
>
> Use case: I want to be able to write an Edgent device application that
> connects to the IBM Watson IoT Platform and publishes device events using its
> HTTP based protocol. That would eliminate the need for my Edgent device to
> have an MQTT client installed.
> The current Watson IoT Platform connector,
> [IotpDevice|https://github.com/apache/incubator-edgent/blob/master/connectors/iotp/src/main/java/org/apache/edgent/connectors/iotp/IotpDevice.java]
> supports the MQTT based protocol.
> Adding support for an HTTP-based WIoTP connector would likely involve
> creating a class like "IotpHttpDevice implements IotDevice". The IotDevice
> "events()" methods would use WIoTP HTTP publishing mechanism. WIoTP does not
> support subscribing to device commands using HTTP so the IotDevice
> "commands()" method would be documented to throw
> UnsupportedOperationException.
