# This controller is designed to allow your Agents to receive cross-site Webhooks (POSTs), or to output data streams.
# When a POST or GET is received, your Agent will have #receive_web_request called on itself with the incoming params,
# method, and requested content-type.
#
# Requests are routed as follows:
# http://yourserver.com/users/:user_id/web_requests/:agent_id/:secret
# where :user_id is a User's id, :agent_id is an Agent's id, and :secret is a token that should be user-specifiable in
# an Agent that implements #receive_web_request. It is highly recommended that every Agent verify this token whenever
# #receive_web_request is called. For example, one of your Agent's options could be :secret and you could compare this
# value to params[:secret] whenever #receive_web_request is called on your Agent, rejecting invalid requests.
#
# Your Agent's #receive_web_request method should return an Array of json_or_string_response, status_code, and
# optional mime type. For example:
# [{status: "success"}, 200]
# or
# ["not found", 404, 'text/plain']
