Server - proxy data exchange is based on JSON format.
Request and response messages must begin with header and data length.
The proxy config
request is sent by server to provide proxy configuration data. This request is sent every ProxyConfigFrequency
(server configuration parameter) seconds.

Server supports partial backwards compatibility by accepting old host availability
, history data
, discovery data
and auto registration
requests.
