Description

Currently, if you want to connect to a router directly from a web page using the proton javascript bindings, you need to run a proxy server.

Also, if you want to serve the static html/js/css files for the dispatch console, you need to start a web server like tomcat.

We can integrate this functionality into the router by:

• creating a stand-alone "qdproxy" python program that serves both as a websocket/tcp proxy and a file server
• modify the schema to configure qdproxy
• modify the router startup/configuration to run the proxy when the router starts
