Function Documentation

◆ ws_get_response_key()

string WebSocketUtil::ws_get_response_key ( string  key)

returns a string response key from the binary key and the WebSocket GUID value

Parameters
keythe base64-encoded key received in the Sec-WebSocket-Key header
Returns
the base64-encoded string value for the Sec-WebSocket-Accept header
Since
WebSocketUtil 1.4

◆ ws_read_message()

hash WebSocketUtil::ws_read_message ( Socket  sock,
*timeout  to 
)

read and decode a message from a socket

Example:
hash h = ws_read_message(sock);
Parameters
sockthe Socket object to receive the message
toan optional read timeout
Returns
a hash with the following keys:
  • op: the operation code (one of WebSocket OpCodes)
  • masked a boolean flag indicating if the message was masked or not
  • msg: the message received; if a CLOSE opcode is received (see WSOP_Close) then any close message is decoded and included here in text form
  • close: the close code (one of WebSocket Close Codes); only included if op is WSOP_Close
