[7.0.0] - 2019-10-01 TLS support in server code, only implemented for the OpenSSL SSL backend for now. [6.3.4] - 2019-09-30 all ws subcommands propagate tls options to servers (unimplemented) or ws or http client (implemented) (contributed by Matt DeBoer) [6.3.3] - 2019-09-30 ws has a --version option [6.3.2] - 2019-09-29 (http + websocket clients) can specify cacert and some other tls options (not implemented on all backend). This makes it so that server certs can finally be validated on windows. [6.3.1] - 2019-09-29 Add ability to use OpenSSL on apple platforms. [6.3.0] - 2019-09-28 ixcobra / fix crash in CobraConnection::publishNext when the queue is empty + handle CobraConnection_PublishMode_Batch in CobraMetricsThreadedPublisher [6.2.9] - 2019-09-27 mbedtls fixes / the unittest now pass on macOS, and hopefully will on Windows/AppVeyor as well. [6.2.8] - 2019-09-26 Http server: add options to ws https to redirect all requests to a given url. POST requests will get a 200 and an empty response. ws httpd -L --redirect_url https://www.google.com [6.2.7] - 2019-09-25 Stop having ws send subcommand send a binary message in text mode, which would cause error in make ws_test shell script test. [6.2.6] - 2019-09-24 Fix 2 race conditions detected with TSan, one in CobraMetricsPublisher::push and another one in WebSocketTransport::sendData (that one was bad). [6.2.5] - 2019-09-23 Add simple Redis Server which is only capable of doing publish / subscribe. New ws redis_server sub-command to use it. The server is used in the unittest, so that we can run on CI in environment where redis isn not available like github actions env. [6.2.4] - 2019-09-22 Add options to configure TLS ; contributed by Matt DeBoer. Only implemented for OpenSSL TLS backend for now. [6.2.3] - 2019-09-21 Fix crash in the Linux unittest in the HTTP client code, in Socket::readBytes Cobra Metrics Publisher code returns the message id of the message that got published, to be used to validated that it got sent properly when receiving an ack.

(some client use WebSocket with some upper-case characters) [5.1.9] - 2019-09-03 ws autobahn / report progress with spdlog::info to get timing info ws autobahn / use condition variables for stopping test case + add more logging on errors [5.1.8] - 2019-09-03 Per message deflate/compression: handle fragmented messages (fix autobahn test: 12.1.X and probably others) [5.1.7] - 2019-09-03 Receiving invalid UTF-8 TEXT message should fail and close the connection (fix remaining autobahn test: 6.X UTF-8 Handling) [5.1.6] - 2019-09-03 Sending invalid UTF-8 TEXT message should fail and close the connection (fix remaining autobahn test: 6.X UTF-8 Handling) Fix failing unittest which was sending binary data in text mode with WebSocket::send to call properly call WebSocket::sendBinary instead. Validate that the reason is proper utf-8. (fix autobahn test 7.5.1) Validate close codes.

[5.0.9] - 2019-08-30 User-Agent header is set when not specified. New option to cap the max wait between reconnection attempts. Still default to 10s. (setMaxWaitBetweenReconnectionRetries). ws connect --max_wait 5000 ws://example.com # will only wait 5 seconds max between reconnection attempts [5.0.7] - 2019-08-23 WebSocket: add new option to pass in extra HTTP headers when connecting. ws connect add new option (-H, works like curl ) to pass in extra HTTP headers when connecting If you run against ws echo_server you will see the headers being received printed in the terminal. ws connect -H \"foo: bar\" -H \"baz: buz\" ws://127.0.0.1:8008 CobraConnection: sets a unique id field for all messages sent to cobra . CobraConnection: sets a counter as a field for each event published. [5.0.6] - 2019-08-22 Windows: silly compile error (poll should be in the global namespace) [5.0.5] - 2019-08-22 Windows: use select instead of WSAPoll, through a poll wrapper [5.0.4] - 2019-08-20 Windows build fixes (there was a problem with the use of ::poll that has a different name on Windows (WSAPoll)) [5.0.3] - 2019-08-14 CobraMetricThreadedPublisher _enable flag is an atomic, and CobraMetricsPublisher is enabled by default [5.0.2] - 2019-08-01 ws cobra_subscribe has a new -q (quiet) option ws cobra_subscribe knows to and display msg stats (count and # of messages received per second) ws cobra_subscribe, cobra_to_statsd and cobra_to_sentry commands have a new option, --filter to restrict the events they want to receive [5.0.1] - 2019-07-25 ws connect command has a new option to send in binary mode (still default to text) ws connect command has readline history thanks to libnoise-cpp. Now ws connect one can use using arrows to lookup previous sent messages and edit them [5.0.0] - 2019-06-23 Changed New HTTP server / still very early. ws gained a new command, httpd can run a simple webserver serving local files. IXDNSLookup. Uses weak pointer + smart_ptr + shared_from_this instead of static sets + mutex to handle object going away before dns lookup has resolved cobra_to_sentry / backtraces are reversed and line number is not extracted correctly mbedtls and zlib are searched with find_package, and we use the vendored version if nothing is found travis CI uses g++ on Linux [4.0.0] - 2019-06-09 Changed WebSocket::send() sends message in TEXT mode by default WebSocketMessage sets a new binary field, which tells whether the received incoming message is binary or text WebSocket::send takes a third arg, binary which default to true (can be text too) WebSocket callback only take one object, a const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr& msg Add explicit WebSocket::sendBinary method New headers + WebSocketMessage class to hold message data, still not used across the board Add test/compatibility folder with small servers and clients written in different languages and different libraries to test compatibility. ws echo_server has a -g option to print a greeting message on connect IXSocketMbedTLS: better error handling in close and connect [3.1.2] - 2019-06-06 Added ws connect has a -x option to disable per message deflate Add WebSocket::disablePerMessageDeflate() option.

If the connection was closed and sending failed, the return value will be set to false. ReadyState getReadyState() returns the state of the connection. There are 4 possible states. ReadyState::Connecting - The connection is not yet open. ReadyState::Open - The connection is open and ready to communicate. ReadyState::Closing - The connection is in the process of closing. ReadyState::Closed - The connection is closed or could not be opened. Open and Close notifications The onMessage event will be fired when the connection is opened or closed. This is similar to the Javascript browser API , which has open and close events notification that can be registered with the browser addEventListener . webSocket.setOnMessageCallback([](const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr& msg) { if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Open) { std::cout << \"send greetings\" << std::endl; // Headers can be inspected (pairs of string/string) std::cout << \"Handshake Headers:\" << std::endl; for (auto it : msg->headers) { std::cout << it.first << \": \" << it.second << std::endl; } } else if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Close) { std::cout << \"disconnected\" << std::endl; // The server can send an explicit code and reason for closing. // This data can be accessed through the closeInfo object. std::cout << msg->closeInfo.code << std::endl; std::cout << msg->closeInfo.reason << std::endl; } } ); Error notification A message will be fired when there is an error with the connection. The message type will be ix::WebSocketMessageType::Error . Multiple fields will be available on the event to describe the error. webSocket.setOnMessageCallback([](const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr& msg) { if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Error) { std::stringstream ss; ss << \"Error: \" << msg->errorInfo.reason << std::endl; ss << \"#retries: \" << msg->eventInfo.retries << std::endl; ss << \"Wait time(ms): \" << msg->eventInfo.wait_time << std::endl; ss << \"HTTP Status: \" << msg->eventInfo.http_status << std::endl; std::cout << ss.str() << std::endl; } } ); start, stop websocket.start() connect to the remote server and starts the message receiving background thread. websocket.stop() disconnect from the remote server and closes the background thread. Configuring the remote url The url can be set and queried after a websocket object has been created. You will have to call stop and start if you want to disconnect and connect to that new url. std::string url(\"wss://example.com\"); websocket.configure(url); Ping/Pong support Ping/pong messages are used to implement keep-alive. 2 message types exists to identify ping and pong messages. Note that when a ping message is received, a pong is instantly send back as requested by the WebSocket spec. webSocket.setOnMessageCallback([](const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr& msg) { if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Ping || msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Pong) { std::cout << \"pong data: \" << msg->str << std::endl; } } ); A ping message can be sent to the server, with an optional data string. websocket.ping(\"ping data, optional (empty string is ok): limited to 125 bytes long\"); Heartbeat. You can configure an optional heart beat / keep-alive, sent every 45 seconds when there is no any traffic to make sure that load balancers do not kill an idle connection. webSocket.setHeartBeatPeriod(45); Supply extra HTTP headers. You can set extra HTTP headers to be sent during the WebSocket handshake. WebSocketHttpHeaders headers; headers[\"foo\"] = \"bar\"; webSocket.setExtraHeaders(headers); Subprotocols You can specify subprotocols to be set during the WebSocket handshake. For more info you can refer to this doc . webSocket.addSubprotocol(\"appProtocol-v1\"); webSocket.addSubprotocol(\"appProtocol-v2\"); The protocol that the server did accept is available in the open info protocol field. std::cout << \"protocol: \" << msg->openInfo.protocol << std::endl; Automatic reconnection Automatic reconnection kicks in when the connection is disconnected without the user consent. This feature is on by default and can be turned off. webSocket.enableAutomaticReconnection(); // turn on webSocket.disableAutomaticReconnection(); // turn off bool enabled = webSocket.isAutomaticReconnectionEnabled(); // query state The technique to calculate wait time is called exponential backoff .

Then, secure sockets are automatically used when connecting to a wss://* url. Additional TLS options can be configured by passing a ix::SocketTLSOptions instance to the setTLSOptions on ix::WebSocket (or ix::WebSocketServer or ix::HttpServer ) webSocket.setTLSOptions({ .certFile = \"path/to/cert/file.pem\", .keyFile = \"path/to/key/file.pem\", .caFile = \"path/to/trust/bundle/file.pem\" }); Specifying certFile and keyFile configures the certificate that will be used to communicate with TLS peers. On a client, this is only necessary for connecting to servers that require a client certificate. On a server, this is necessary for TLS support. Specifying caFile configures the trusted roots bundle file (in PEM format) that will be used to verify peer certificates. - The special value of SYSTEM (the default) indicates that the system-configured trust bundle should be used; this is generally what you want when connecting to any publicly exposed API/server. - The special value of NONE can be used to disable peer verification; this is only recommended to rule out certificate verification when testing connectivity. For a client, specifying caFile can be used if connecting to a server that uses a self-signed cert, or when using a custom CA in an internal environment. For a server, specifying caFile implies that: 1. You require clients to present a certificate 1. It must be signed by one of the trusted roots in the file WebSocket server API #include <ixwebsocket/IXWebSocketServer.h> ... // Run a server on localhost at a given port. // Bound host name, max connections and listen backlog can also be passed in as parameters. ix::WebSocketServer server(port); server.setOnConnectionCallback( [&server](std::shared_ptr<WebSocket> webSocket, std::shared_ptr<ConnectionState> connectionState) { webSocket->setOnMessageCallback( [webSocket, connectionState, &server](const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr msg) { if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Open) { std::cerr << \"New connection\" << std::endl; // A connection state object is available, and has a default id // You can subclass ConnectionState and pass an alternate factory // to override it.

Specifying caFile configures the trusted roots bundle file (in PEM format) that will be used to verify peer certificates. - The special value of SYSTEM (the default) indicates that the system-configured trust bundle should be used; this is generally what you want when connecting to any publicly exposed API/server. - The special value of NONE can be used to disable peer verification; this is only recommended to rule out certificate verification when testing connectivity.

The per message deflate compression option is supported. It can lead to very nice bandbwith savings (20x !) if your messages are similar, which is often the case for example for chat applications. All features of the spec should be supported. TLS/SSL Connections can be optionally secured and encrypted with TLS/SSL when using a wss:// endpoint, or using normal un-encrypted socket with ws:// endpoints. AppleSSL is used on iOS and macOS, OpenSSL is used on Android and Linux, mbedTLS is used on Windows. Polling and background thread work No manual polling to fetch data is required. Data is sent and received instantly by using a background thread for receiving data and the select system call to be notified by the OS of incoming data. No timeout is used for select so that the background thread is only woken up when data is available, to optimize battery life. This is also the recommended way of using select according to the select tutorial, section select law . Read and Writes to the socket are non blocking. Data is sent right away and not enqueued by writing directly to the socket, which is possible since system socket implementations allow concurrent read/writes. However concurrent writes need to be protected with mutex. Automatic reconnection If the remote end (server) breaks the connection, the code will try to perpetually reconnect, by using an exponential backoff strategy, capped at one retry every 10 seconds. This behavior can be disabled. Large messages Large frames are broken up into smaller chunks or messages to avoid filling up the os tcp buffers, which is permitted thanks to WebSocket fragmentation .

Windows note To use the network system on Windows, you need to initialize it once with WSAStartup() and clean it up with WSACleanup() . We have helpers for that which you can use, see below. This init would typically take place in your main function. #include <ixwebsocket/IXNetSystem.h> int main() { ix::initNetSystem(); ... ix::uninitNetSystem(); return 0; } WebSocket client API #include <ixwebsocket/IXWebSocket.h> ... # Our websocket object ix::WebSocket webSocket; std::string url(\"ws://localhost:8080/\"); webSocket.setUrl(url); // Optional heart beat, sent every 45 seconds when there is not any traffic // to make sure that load balancers do not kill an idle connection. webSocket.setHeartBeatPeriod(45); // Per message deflate connection is enabled by default.

If the connection was closed and sending failed, the return value will be set to false. ReadyState getReadyState() returns the state of the connection. There are 4 possible states. ReadyState::Connecting - The connection is not yet open. ReadyState::Open - The connection is open and ready to communicate. ReadyState::Closing - The connection is in the process of closing. ReadyState::Closed - The connection is closed or could not be opened. Open and Close notifications The onMessage event will be fired when the connection is opened or closed. This is similar to the Javascript browser API , which has open and close events notification that can be registered with the browser addEventListener . webSocket.setOnMessageCallback([](const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr& msg) { if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Open) { std::cout << \"send greetings\" << std::endl; // Headers can be inspected (pairs of string/string) std::cout << \"Handshake Headers:\" << std::endl; for (auto it : msg->headers) { std::cout << it.first << \": \" << it.second << std::endl; } } else if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Close) { std::cout << \"disconnected\" << std::endl; // The server can send an explicit code and reason for closing. // This data can be accessed through the closeInfo object. std::cout << msg->closeInfo.code << std::endl; std::cout << msg->closeInfo.reason << std::endl; } } ); Error notification A message will be fired when there is an error with the connection.

You will have to call stop and start if you want to disconnect and connect to that new url. std::string url(\"wss://example.com\"); websocket.configure(url); Ping/Pong support Ping/pong messages are used to implement keep-alive. 2 message types exists to identify ping and pong messages. Note that when a ping message is received, a pong is instantly send back as requested by the WebSocket spec. webSocket.setOnMessageCallback([](const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr& msg) { if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Ping || msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Pong) { std::cout << \"pong data: \" << msg->str << std::endl; } } ); A ping message can be sent to the server, with an optional data string. websocket.ping(\"ping data, optional (empty string is ok): limited to 125 bytes long\"); Heartbeat. You can configure an optional heart beat / keep-alive, sent every 45 seconds when there is no any traffic to make sure that load balancers do not kill an idle connection. webSocket.setHeartBeatPeriod(45); Supply extra HTTP headers. You can set extra HTTP headers to be sent during the WebSocket handshake. WebSocketHttpHeaders headers; headers[\"foo\"] = \"bar\"; webSocket.setExtraHeaders(headers); Subprotocols You can specify subprotocols to be set during the WebSocket handshake. For more info you can refer to this doc . webSocket.addSubprotocol(\"appProtocol-v1\"); webSocket.addSubprotocol(\"appProtocol-v2\"); The protocol that the server did accept is available in the open info protocol field. std::cout << \"protocol: \" << msg->openInfo.protocol << std::endl; Automatic reconnection Automatic reconnection kicks in when the connection is disconnected without the user consent.

Then, secure sockets are automatically used when connecting to a wss://* url. Additional TLS options can be configured by passing a ix::SocketTLSOptions instance to the setTLSOptions on ix::WebSocket (or ix::WebSocketServer or ix::HttpServer ) webSocket.setTLSOptions({ .certFile = \"path/to/cert/file.pem\", .keyFile = \"path/to/key/file.pem\", .caFile = \"path/to/trust/bundle/file.pem\" }); Specifying certFile and keyFile configures the certificate that will be used to communicate with TLS peers. On a client, this is only necessary for connecting to servers that require a client certificate. On a server, this is necessary for TLS support. Specifying caFile configures the trusted roots bundle file (in PEM format) that will be used to verify peer certificates. - The special value of SYSTEM (the default) indicates that the system-configured trust bundle should be used; this is generally what you want when connecting to any publicly exposed API/server. - The special value of NONE can be used to disable peer verification; this is only recommended to rule out certificate verification when testing connectivity. For a client, specifying caFile can be used if connecting to a server that uses a self-signed cert, or when using a custom CA in an internal environment. For a server, specifying caFile implies that: 1. You require clients to present a certificate 1. It must be signed by one of the trusted roots in the file WebSocket server API #include <ixwebsocket/IXWebSocketServer.h> ... // Run a server on localhost at a given port. // Bound host name, max connections and listen backlog can also be passed in as parameters. ix::WebSocketServer server(port); server.setOnConnectionCallback( [&server](std::shared_ptr<WebSocket> webSocket, std::shared_ptr<ConnectionState> connectionState) { webSocket->setOnMessageCallback( [webSocket, connectionState, &server](const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr msg) { if (msg->type == ix::WebSocketMessageType::Open) { std::cerr << \"New connection\" << std::endl; // A connection state object is available, and has a default id // You can subclass ConnectionState and pass an alternate factory // to override it.
