Protocol

Parachute is a relative simple client-server protocol what runs over the TCP protocol.

It sends a file with some flags, case signed by user, to the server. The server saves it into a volatile database to be downloaded when required. It checks the flags, executing needed validation, logic and callbacks when that download is requested.
