Websocket client library cannot handle path setting (IDFGH-1643)

[fordosg]

Environment

• IDF version: v4.0-dev-1381-g6fe853a2c

Problem Description

Hi all,

The new Websockets library does not use the path configuration variable, if I not using the uri scheme.

Initialization code:

esp_websocket_client_config_t ws_conf = {
		.host = URL,
		.port = PORT,
		.path = path,
		.buffer_size = 512,
		.transport = WEBSOCKET_TRANSPORT_OVER_SSL,
};

Working solution: set path for transport before intialization

Current code (components/esp_websocket_client/esp_websocket_client.c; from line 430):

if (client->transport == NULL) {
                    ESP_LOGE(TAG, "There are no transport");
                    client->run = false;
                    break;
                }

                if (esp_transport_connect(client->transport,
                                          client->config->host,
                                          client->config->port,
                                          client->config->network_timeout_ms) < 0) {
                    ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Error transport connect");
                    esp_websocket_client_abort_connection(client);
                    break;
                }

Working code:

if (client->transport == NULL) {
                    ESP_LOGE(TAG, "There are no transport");
                    client->run = false;
                    break;
                }

		esp_transport_ws_set_path(client->transport, client->config->path);

                if (esp_transport_connect(client->transport,
                                          client->config->host,
                                          client->config->port,
                                          client->config->network_timeout_ms) < 0) {
                    ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Error transport connect");
                    esp_websocket_client_abort_connection(client);
                    break;
                }```
