meteorman's Issues

Hard to find this

I saw your demo on the meteor impact. Wanted to try this. Google could not find it!

The name of the project clashes with a film name and google tend to break up the search into "meteor man" which doesn't find this repository.

Even if you search for antwaremx and "meteorman" it's still not really visible.

You may want to consider a name change or some other way to try and get google to recognise it if you want more users to find it.

Not really an issue as such but thought I'd let you know

Also, windows defender and symantec were not too happy about running it as it's an exe. This may be an issue on locked down enterprise PC's. I know this is not really your problem but though you should know.

Password shown in plain text on screen

If authenticating by user/password then the password should not be shown on screen.

This would be considered a security risk by governance people and would prevent it from being accepted in most places.

Enhancement: DDP logging

We're developing an application that uses Unity as a front-end (AR app) and Meteor as a backend. Our network connection is based on an OpenSource DDP library for Unity that had quite some issues, since it was not really designed for unstable mobile connections. We improved that, but are still facing some weird issues with the Meteor backend. For instance, sometimes the server won't send a RESULT message when logging in after a WebSocket connection loss.

Since the DDP docs are pretty basic and the source code is somewhat complex to read, we'd love to simulate certain scenarios on a low level, without creating a new Unity build every time. What we'd need for this is an easy way to send DDP messages to our server (which Meteor Man can do) and log all network activity to and from the server (which it can't).

It would be awesome if a low level DDP logger would be integrated. This logger could look somewhat like the Meteor Dev Tools for Chrome.

(It would be even better if one could send low level DDP messages as well and simulate WebSocket connection breaks / reconnects. This would allow us to test the server response if a Socket breaks down and the client tries to re-establish the connection after re-connecting with new WebSocket. But simple logging of all traffic would already be super helpful.)

Strings in arrays of query objects turn into false

If I subscribe to a subscription with this object parameter:

{
  "types": ["public"]
}

the object turns into

{
  "types": [false]
}

If there are two elements in the array:

{
  "types": ["groups", "public"]
}

this turns into:

{
  "types": [false, "public"]
}

If you try to modify the false value, the string partially re-appears.

Besides: Thanks for this great tool!
