MeshMB REST API
===============
[Serval Project][], February 2016
Introduction
------------
[MeshMB][] is a service in the [Serval Mesh network][] that provides
distributed one-to-all messaging using [Rhizome][] as transport.
The [Serval DNA][] daemon that runs on every node gives applications access to
the MeshMB service via the **MeshMB REST API** described in this document.
### Basic concepts
#### Feed
An unencrypted rhizome journal. With the same internal format as a MeshMS message ply.
Each feed has a name, set in the rhizome manifest.
The Bundle ID of the feed, is the author of the bundle. In other words,
the bundle secret is the same secret stored in the serval keyring to represent an identity.
### POST /restful/meshmb/ID/sendmessage
Append a new message to the feed.
### GET /restful/meshmb/FEEDID/messagelist.json

### GET /restful/meshmb/FEEDID/newsince[/TOKEN]/messagelist.json
