broadcast messages about chat HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @Schrims

Something like this should work (I haven't tested it):

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"msg": "Hello!"}' http://localhost:8888/api/broadcast/

from chat.

Another option would be to use a browser extension (like Postman -there are plenty of options-) to talk to the API from your browser.

Hi @Schrims

Just pushed a couple of changes that should fix the issues you have. This project is quite old and some updates in dependencies have broken it over time (will fix the versions soon though). I hadn't touch it in a while, was fun :) There may be more things broken, so if you find more issues and want to play with it a bit pull requests are welcome.

Thanks @tegioz for your support!
It's now working with your changes and the given command.

I'll play with it and keep you informed.

THANKS!
