You can now read and update LiveObjects from the HTTP client, with no realtime connection. This suits server code that needs to inspect or change object state in response to a request, such as seeding a counter or updating a map from a backend job.

LiveObjects over HTTP

Every HTTP channel now has a channel.object property. It is built into the HTTP client, so you don't need the liveobjects plugin to use it. #1259

• get() returns the channel's objects as typed maps, counters and values. getCompact() returns the same state as plain JSON.
• publish() applies one or more map and counter operations in a single request.
• generateObjectId() creates the ID for a new map or counter before you publish it, so you can create an object and refer to it in the same batch.

Each method has an ...Async variant that takes a callback.
