Rough implementation of websocket specification in JAI. Supports TLS. Currently only Linux is supported as epoll is used for I/O. The module currently handles message loop internally and doesn't leave much control about it to the user.
There are missing parts and in some cases the server could be wrong and/or crash. Use at own risk.
For SSL to work you have to provide cert and key file that is trusted. Examples are currently setup to work for non-SSL connections so the .html files are loading 'ws://' url, which you will have to also change if you want to try it.
Untrusted connections will be dropped.
There is a small bug in epoll bindings in 0.1.062 which you will need to patch fix before this module can work. To fix simply replace following definition in the modules/POSIX/bindings/linux/epoll.jai file. This will eventually be fixed so it won't be an issue down the road.
epoll_event :: struct {
events: u32;
data: epoll_data #align 4; // the alignment is missing...
}
- Support control frames (ping/pong,...)
- Handle edgecases like when client hardcloses TCP connection
In examples folder there is currently a simple chat example app with no backend storage, only message forwarding to multiple clients. Just start the server and open the html in browser.
The module also comes with hand-written OpenSSL bindings. This also will probably change in the future.
