Provide Proxy WebSocket Connection #197
Description
Summary
Proxy is currently setup for RESTful operation which makes sense in many cases. Poll the server and obtain the latest data. This is especially true if you are not aware of what services Proxy offers. It would be advantageous to provide a direct WebSocket connection which streams UART data to a socket. This would be efficient and extendable.
Problem Explanation
Polling the Flask server will eventually become cumbersome once large amounts of data are transferred via Faraday. WebSockets allow us to simply stream data from Proxy directly to a user over the internet. Someone who knows what services are available can directly connect to the socket while users unaware of service can query the RESTful API to be presented with the connections available and/or automatically connected to the socket(s) available.
