support
Positron's kernel supervisor currently communicates over HTTP and WebSockets with Positron. This has the advantage of being well integrated with tooling (codegen tools, testing tools, Workbench, etc.) and being easy to introspect. However, it also has some disadvantages.
http_proxy
is set #5481 (comment) for an example.kcserver
to access the network. That is undesirable since this service should be an internal Positron implementation detail, and also users can't be expected to know whatkcserver
is or why it wants to use the network.Examples of IPC mechanisms we could use:
node-ipc
