There are several incompatible versions of netcat around.
`ncat` (from nmap) is a more "reliable" tool for scripting.
Extends the test a bit with the latest change in
https://github.com/kong/go-plugins, where the example
plugin was split in two.
* it runs... something
* use strings for dict keys
* small cleanups / better locking
* add StepXXX RPC methods to express non-primitive PDK return types
* remove commented code
* define recognizable error type
* config schema as a structure, not a string that happens to be decodable
* changed Kong capitalization because of Go
* reread plugin if modified on disk
* docs about event cycle and callback return types
* The standard package can't reload Plugins
* add status report, including some timekeeping
* expire instances after 60sec idle
* a bit of logging
* send PID on status and on connection (as unrequested notification)
TODOs:
- decode the in & out parameters (method + params) together on the RPC object. currently they're a single string because the go-pdk expects a string channel
- the instance goroutine finishes after a single event, should stay until the instance is closed
