[c-lightning] waitinvoice from app

[ZmnSCPxj]

Good morning Richard,

That is the correct way, indeed.

However I do not know why it would not work using nodejs net package.
Internally, `lightning-cli` simply connects to the JSON-RPC interface, sends `waitinvoice`, then waits for a response.
Could you try alternate packages?

Regards,
