goSam

A go library for using the I2P Simple Anonymous Messaging (SAM version 3.0) bridge. It has support for all streaming features SAM version 3.2.

This is widely used and easy to use, but thusfar, mostly by me.

Installation

go get github.com/eyedeekay/goSam

Using it for HTTP Transport

I implemented Client.Dial like net.Dial so you can use go's library packages like http.

package main

import (
	"io"
	"log"
	"net/http"
	"os"

	"github.com/cryptix/goSam"
)

func main() {
	// create a default sam client
	sam, err := goSam.NewDefaultClient()
	checkErr(err)

	log.Println("Client Created")

	// create a transport that uses SAM to dial TCP Connections
	tr := &http.Transport{
		Dial: sam.Dial,
	}

	// create  a client using this transport
	client := &http.Client{Transport: tr}

	// send a get request
	resp, err := client.Get("http://stats.i2p/")
	checkErr(err)
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	log.Printf("Get returned %+v\n", resp)

	// create a file for the response
	file, err := os.Create("stats.html")
	checkErr(err)
	defer file.Close()

	// copy the response to the file
	_, err = io.Copy(file, resp.Body)
	checkErr(err)

	log.Println("Done.")
}

func checkErr(err error) {
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

.deb package

A package for installing this on Debian is buildable, and a version for Ubuntu is available as a PPA and mirrored via i2p. To build the deb package, from the root of this repository with the build dependencies installed(git, i2p, go, debuild) run the command

    debuild -us -uc

to produce an unsigned deb for personal use only. For packagers,

    debuild -S

will produce a viable source package for use with Launchpad PPA's and other similar systems.

TODO

• Improve recovery on failed sockets
• Implement STREAM FORWARD
• Implement datagrams (Repliable and Anon)
