Best way to autoconfigure devices

[Dan Morphis]

> My first question is... *what events does manage akcoder's fork*? In
order to know the cases which I need to take into account (Boot from
factory defaults, a simply periodic inform, some other inform... etc). I
will build a listening socket in a separate server with R programming
language (because we are doing all this stuff with this language) listening
for these EVENTS.  *How these notifications of akcoder's fork work?* I
don't know any guide.

You specify the events you want forwarded and the URL to forward to. When
an event comes in that matches one of the requested types, it is POSTed to
the URL you provide, and the body of the message is the JSON encoded event
and data.

"NOTIFICATION_ENABLED" : true,
"NOTIFICATION_URL": "https://my_server/Api/ACS/Event/%s",
"NOTIFICATION_TYPES" : "0 BOOTSTRAP,1 BOOT,2 PERIODIC,3 SCHEDULED,4 VALUE
CHANGE,5 KICKED,6 CONNECTION REQUEST,7 TRANSFER COMPLETE,8
DIAGNOSTICS,COMPLETE,9 REQUEST DOWNLOAD,M Reboot"
