HTTP Echo Demo
The purpose of this demonstration is to show the open-aea framework can be used as a HTTP server. More concretely, an AEA with a http server connection and an appropriate skill can be used as a server.
A full break down of the development flow is covered within the Development Quickstart.
It is highly recommended that developers begin by following the quick start!
It is assumed that developers are within a pipenv virtual environment.
A full break down of the development flow is covered within the Development Quickstart. The easiest way to get started with the http server is to use our pre-built example skill.
pipenv shell
aea fetch open_aea/http_echo:0.1.0:bafybeigeufwgu6cxjcvxsks2j4mjk6kir7vnjgr2wfbytqlztqezkzijwy --remote
cd http_echo
aea generate-key ethereum; aea add-key ethereum
aea install
aea run --aev
