So I started to poke at what it would take to revive Copper addon for
firefox....

Then I backed off and decided that is probably the _wrong_ approach.

I now believe the correct approach is to use a vanilla web browser and a
CoAP to HTTP cross proxy.

This is likely to be the more compelling demonstrator.

The CoAP.technology site doesn't list any implementations.

I see rfc8075 exists which suggests someone has done it.

I have found https://github.com/ibm-security-innovation/crosscoap which,
unfortunately is the wrong way round.... ie. It presents a coap view of
http services.

Is anyone aware of any open source cross proxies that present a http view
of coap services?

Thank you,
