[tor-dev] [GSoC] BridgeDB Twitter Distributor report



Progress/activities since last time:

 * incorporating BridgeRequest's together with an initial bridge request API over JSON (it's easier to do both as they are tightly related.) The bridge request api is based on isis' initial fix/12029-dist-api_r1;

 * bogus server-side bridge provider that implements the json api: just something that gives fake bridges based on the request (which is handled/contained in BridgeRequest.) (will have server side code real soon now (hoped to have it by now.))

 * my churn_rewrite could probably make use of bridgedb's current approach to pickled storage. (It's also worth switching to twisted.spread.jelly for (mostly) security)

 * experimenting with sending images over twitter DMs. Twitter API does not support images in DMs, but the web as well as various mobile apps support attaching images to DMs (images end up in twitter CDN. (served over ton.twitter.com), which is good.) Some progress here: the web client DM send requests (where image files can be attached) are contained; the bot should be able to send images in DMs soon, emulating a normal web user agent (but using the two twitter APIs for all other activities and DMs.)

 * once bridgerequest's + request api (client-side + my mock server-side thing) are done, the bot will have approached a not-far-from-functional state

Apologies for the late report.
