Instead of statically allocating the output of the infra_config handler, we allow the operator to optionally delegate its contents to a sidecar command that can supply the values returned by this handler. This means that if a user wishes to supply alternate STUN or TURN servers for running webRTC, it can do so. Why not a static configuration loaded from a file? For TURN for example, the credential returned from the TURN server may have a limited TTL, so we need to be able to request the TURN credential on-demand. We default however to letting the operator set the credential TTL for the moment, and may revisit that behavior in the future. If the delegate is specified and fails for whatever reason, then we fall back to the existing, static configuration so as not to break existing clients. TURN support is particularly useful, since it means that large port-forward ranges are no longer necessary.
