| http.websocket Function | |
|---|---|
|
Syntax http.websocket() | |
| Returns | table handle | nil, string err |
| API | http |
| Source | CC:Tweaked (source) (source) |
Attempt to establish a WebSocket connection to the given URL.
|
|||
Connects to ws://demos.kaazing.com/echo (a server that responds with the exact data sent to it). |
|||
| Code | local ws, err = http.websocket("ws://demos.kaazing.com/echo")
if not ws then
return printError(err)
end
ws.send("Hello world!")
local response = ws.receive()
assert(response == "Hello world!", "Received wrong response!")
print(response)
-- Don't forget to close the connection!
ws.close()
|
||
| Output | Prints Hello world! |
||
|
|||
Connects to ws://demos.kaazing.com/echo, but uses events to receive messages rather than the receive method. This way of receiving events has the advantage that the program is able to respond to other events while waiting for a response, whereas the former method will block on ws.receive(). |
|||
| Code | local connectionURL = "ws://demos.kaazing.com/echo"
local ws, err = http.websocket(connectionURL)
if not ws then
return printError(err)
end
ws.send("Hello world!")
while true do
local _, url, response, isBinary = os.pullEvent("websocket_message")
-- We need this if statement to check that we received the message from
-- the correct websocket. After all, you can have many websockets connected to
-- different URLs.
if url == connectionURL then
assert(response == "Hello world!", "Received wrong response!")
print(response)
-- Don't forget to close the connection!
ws.close()
-- We've received our response and are finished.
break
end
end
