Background

One of the biggest missed opportunities thus far with HTTP/2 ("H/2") is that we are not yet able to sunset WebSockets in favor of H/2. Web Sockets and H/2 both support multiplexing messages bi-directionally and can send both textual and binary data.

Server Sent Events ("SSE"), by contrast, are not bi-directional (they're a "server-push-only" channel) and binary data cannot be sent easily. They are, however, very simple to implement. Adding to the menagerie of options, RTCPeerConnection can also be used to signal data to applications in a low-latency (but potentially lossy) way.

Because H/2 [does not support the handshake (upgrade) that WebSockets use to negotiate a connection](https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/06/15/no-websockets-

Custom OAuth2 Connection with Auth0

Understanding Auth0 authentication

Before we start with creating a custom OAuth2 connection in Auth0, it's worth to spend some time understanding the OAuth2 authentication process in Auth0. An OAuth2 authentication process starts with the application requesting Auth0 for authentication and ends with either the browser or the application server having an access token to represent the user. The access token can then be used to call the third party API on behalf of the user.

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	(function (context, trackingId, options) {
	const history = context.history;
	const doc = document;
	const nav = navigator \|\| {};
	const storage = localStorage;
	const encode = encodeURIComponent;
	const pushState = history.pushState;
	const typeException = 'exception';
	const generateId = () => Math.random().toString(36);
	const getId = () => {

	export {}

	if (typeof Array.prototype.flatMap !== 'function') {
	// eslint-disable-next-line no-extend-native
	Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, 'flatMap', {
	enumerable: false,
	// https://bterlson.github.io/proposal-flatMap/#sec-Array.prototype.flatMap
	value: function flatMap (callback, thisArg = undefined) {
	const O = toObject(this)
	const A = arraySpeciesCreate(O, 0)
