Send email

Optional - Send email formulas requires OAuth2 & cron  e.g. =email(to, subject, body), =emailAt(time, to, subject, body)

OAuth2 - Set environment vars
1) Tutorial: follow the tutorial to get the 4 environment vars http://masashi-k.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/sending-mail-with-gmail-using-xoauth2.html
2) Set 4 environment vars - see [src/emailer.ls] vars: user, clientId, clientSecret, refreshToken
Tested using gmail, have not tested with other providors

Cron - Required for emailAt formulas.
See *curl* in [.openshift/cron/minutely/timetrigger] for openshift version (openshift](openshift.redhat.com)
The curl checks the database for unsent emails and updates the database after sending.

REST API

Please see API.md for the API Blueprint, or the online version at Apiary.

Runtime Flags

Listening Interface: `--host` / `--port`

Specify a specific host and/or a different port for the service.

By default EtherCalc listens at 0.0.0.0:8000 (all IPv4 interfaces).

Using SSL: `--keyfile` / `--certfile`

openssl genrsa -out ethercalc-key.pem 1024
openssl req -new -key ethercalc-key.pem -out certrequest.csr
openssl x509 -req -in certrequest.csr -signkey ethercalc-key.pem -out ethercalc-cert.pem
ethercalc --keyfile ethercalc-key.pem --certfile ethercalc-cert.pem

Prefers polling over Websocket: `--polling`

Useful when running behind a proxy without WebSocket support.

Enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing: `--cors`

Useful when setting up EtherCalc as a public REST API server.

URL Prefix: `--basepath /path/prefix`

Useful when running under an URL rewriter. If running with a nginx reverse proxy, please add this section:

    location /zappa/socket/__local/ {
        rewrite (.*) /path/prefix$1;
    }

Access Control: `--key secret`

Offers read-write vs. read-only modes. See issues #1 and #4 for details on setting this up.
