Interception of published events for processing
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I think that interception of all incoming events would be useful for:
- people creating their own filters for spam
- dynamic whitelists
- pay-per-event relays
Describe the solution you'd like There should be a way for any app to connect to the relay (gRPC, WS, doesn't matter, and could probably have authentication) and hook into all events being sent with the following information included:
- IP address (should account for X-Forwarded-For)
- The event itself
- the origin header
and the connected client could answer with one of the following:
- accept
- silently drop (OK as if nothing happened but do not persist and relay)
- drop (with a custom notice)
in the future, AUTH could be required. there should be a configuration option to block all event publishing if there is no connected client that is intercepting the events. (such as for a dynamic whitelist, I wouldn't want to allow non-whitelisted people from posting because the script I wrote went down)
Describe alternatives you've considered None
Additional context In the future, this could be extended to more things.
Just came here to explore if this was possible with nostream. We would implement this on Vida, if it were a thing, to make a paid relay. Happy to help!
