webopenflow's Issues

Add config file support

Too many things are hardcoded right now due to initial dev. Abstracting shouldn't be too hard. I can either use ConfigParser or just a class.

Add support for multiple switches

This is an obvious need. Shouldn't require too much effort, other than adding the select box for which switch you want to add a new flow to (and remove a flow from), and modifying the REST URI.

Decide on whether to keep old flow XML

As this demo evolves, I find myself removing the old flow XML (e.g. port flows). Should I be keeping this in the event someone wants to see a port flow? This depends on what the point of this demo is meant for.
