Detailed Description

The abstract web socket debug handler class.

Connections are represented by an object descended from WebSocketConnection which is instantiated via WebSocketHandler::WebSocketHandler::getConnectionImpl().

The handler is registered via HttpServer::setHandler() to receive messages.

Receiving WebSocket Messages from Clients
When a message is received via WebSocketConnection::gotMessage() from the client then it is passed to receiveData as is.
Sending WebSocket Message to Clients
To send a message to a websocket client, call one of the following methods sendData or broadcastData.

Websocket connections are identified by their HTTP connection ID as passed in WebSocketHandler::handleRequest() in the "cx.id" argument when the connection is first established.

Member Function Documentation

◆ broadcastData()

DebugHandler::AbstractWebSocketDebugHandler::broadcastData ( auto  data)

sends data to all connections

Encode data and broadcast data using WebSocketHandler::sendAll() a message to all connected clients. Intercept method when implementing a 3rd party protocol.

◆ handleRequest()

hash DebugHandler::AbstractWebSocketDebugHandler::handleRequest ( hash  cx,
hash  hdr,
*data  b 
)

called by the HTTP server to handle incoming HTTP requests

It adds custom header X-QoreDebugWsProtocol to response

◆ receiveData()

abstract DebugHandler::AbstractWebSocketDebugHandler::receiveData ( hash  cx,
string  msg 
)
pure virtual

called when web socket receives data

Data are passed as is, i.e. decoding is needed. Intercept method when implementing a 3rd party protocol.

Implemented in DebugHandler::WebSocketDebugHandler.

◆ sendData()

DebugHandler::AbstractWebSocketDebugHandler::sendData ( hash  cx,
auto  data 
)

sends data to the given connection

Encode data and send using WebSocketHandler::sendOne() a message to single connection given its connection ID. Intercept method when implementing a 3rd party protocol.
