Micro Forwarder: A light-weight forwarder in the browser based on NDN-JS ======================================================================== Native Messaging for multicast ============================== Native Messaging allows a browser to use an authorized application on the computer. The Micro Forwarder uses the ndn_multicast.py application to send and receive packets in the NDN multicast group. To authorize it, follow these steps for your platform. ## Firefox on macOS Native Messaging requires Firefox 50. In a terminal change directory to `ndn-js/tools/micro-forwarder` . Enter: mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts cp ndn_multicast.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts Edit `~/Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/ndn_multicast.json` and change the line "path": "ndn-js/tools/micro-forwarder/ndn_multicast.py", to have the full path of the ndn-js project. For example: "path": "/Users/username/ndn-js/tools/micro-forwarder/ndn_multicast.py", Installing during development ============================= To install the Micro Forwarder extension during development, in a terminal change directory to `ndn-js/tools/micro-forwarder` . Enter: ./make-ndn-micro-forwarder.sh This copies ndn.js from the build directory so that the extension can use it. ## Firefox In the Firefox address bar, enter `about:debugging` .
