XCloud

XCloud for the new XKit extension.

Meta data

The server also has 2 calls for checking if the server is running and a call for checking version numbers. Currently these are hard coded but we could redirect to a file stored on github for convenience.

Storing passwords

XCloud extension is currently passing md5 passwords to the server.
Once received a BCrypts hash is computed and stored.

Version 1

Mimic of the old XCloud server.

Create user

1. XKit creates a user on the browser and then sends a username and password (md5 hashed) to the server.
2. The server BCrypts the password and stores it.

Login user

1. XKit sends a username and password to the server, server returns with a success or failure.
2. Upon success XKit caches the username and password.

Save Preferences

1. XKit appends all of the extension information to one json document
2. XKit encodes it uses base64. After encoding XCS is prepended and XCE is appended
3. XKit uploads the encoded preferences with a username and password to the server..
4. The server authenticates the call and then stores the base64 encoded string.

Restore Preferences

1. XKit sends a username and password to the sever.
2. The server authenticates and servers the encoded preferences back
3. XKit restores the settings based on the encoded preferences.
