Command Line Client for Tinode

This is a command line chat client. It's written in Python as a demonstration of gRPC Tinode API.

Files generated from protobuf are provided for convenience. Files are generated with command

python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I../pbx --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. ../pbx/model.proto

The client takes optional parameters:

tn-cli --host=localhost:6061 --login-cookie

• --host is the address of the server to connect to.
• --login-basic is the login:password to be authenticated with.
• --login-token is the token to be authenticated with.
• --login-cookie direct the client to read the token from the cookie file.

If multiple login-XYZ are provided, login-cookie is considered first, then login-token then login-basic. Authentication with token (and cookie) is much faster than with the username-password pair.
