reuse: add copyright + license info to individual docs/*.md files
Instead of use 'docs/*.md' in dep5. For clarity and avoiding a wide-
matching wildcard.

+ Remove mention of old files from .reuse/dep5
+ add info to .github/dependabot.yml
+ make scripts/copyright.pl warn on non-matching patterns

MQTT in curl

Usage

A plain "GET" subscribes to the topic and prints all published messages. Doing a "POST" publishes the post data to the topic and exits.

Example subscribe:

curl mqtt://host.home/bedroom/temp

Example publish:

curl -d 75 mqtt://host.home/bedroom/dimmer

What does curl deliver as a response to a subscribe

It outputs two bytes topic length (MSB | LSB), the topic followed by the payload.

Caveats

Remaining limitations:

  • Only QoS level 0 is implemented for publish
  • No way to set retain flag for publish
  • No TLS (mqtts) support
  • Naive EAGAIN handling does not handle split messages
