Package Usage: go: github.com/btcsuite/websocket
Package websocket implements the WebSocket protocol defined in RFC 6455.
The Conn type represents a WebSocket connection. A server application uses
the Upgrade function from an Upgrader object with a HTTP request handler
to get a pointer to a Conn:
Call the connection WriteMessage and ReadMessages methods to send and
receive messages as a slice of bytes. This snippet of code shows how to echo
messages using these methods:
In above snippet of code, p is a []byte and messageType is an int with value
websocket.BinaryMessage or websocket.TextMessage.
An application can also send and receive messages using the io.WriteCloser
and io.Reader interfaces. To send a message, call the connection NextWriter
method to get an io.WriteCloser, write the message to the writer and close
the writer when done. To receive a message, call the connection NextReader
method to get an io.Reader and read until io.EOF is returned. This snippet
snippet shows how to echo messages using the NextWriter and NextReader
methods:
The WebSocket protocol distinguishes between text and binary data messages.
Text messages are interpreted as UTF-8 encoded text. The interpretation of
binary messages is left to the application.
This package uses the TextMessage and BinaryMessage integer constants to
identify the two data message types. The ReadMessage and NextReader methods
return the type of the received message. The messageType argument to the
WriteMessage and NextWriter methods specifies the type of a sent message.
It is the application's responsibility to ensure that text messages are
valid UTF-8 encoded text.
The WebSocket protocol defines three types of control messages: close, ping
and pong. Call the connection WriteControl, WriteMessage or NextWriter
methods to send a control message to the peer.
Connections handle received ping and pong messages by invoking a callback
function set with SetPingHandler and SetPongHandler methods. These callback
functions can be invoked from the ReadMessage method, the NextReader method
or from a call to the data message reader returned from NextReader.
Connections handle received close messages by returning an error from the
ReadMessage method, the NextReader method or from a call to the data message
reader returned from NextReader.
Connections do not support concurrent calls to the write methods
(NextWriter, SetWriteDeadline, WriteMessage) or concurrent calls to the read
methods methods (NextReader, SetReadDeadline, ReadMessage). Connections do
support a concurrent reader and writer.
The Close and WriteControl methods can be called concurrently with all other
methods.
The application must read the connection to process ping and close messages
sent from the peer. If the application is not otherwise interested in
messages from the peer, then the application should start a goroutine to read
and discard messages from the peer. A simple example is:
Web browsers allow Javascript applications to open a WebSocket connection to
any host. It's up to the server to enforce an origin policy using the Origin
request header sent by the browser.
The Upgrader calls the function specified in the CheckOrigin field to check
the origin. If the CheckOrigin function returns false, then the Upgrade
method fails the WebSocket handshake with HTTP status 403.
If the CheckOrigin field is nil, then the Upgrader uses a safe default: fail
the handshake if the Origin request header is present and not equal to the
Host request header.
An application can allow connections from any origin by specifying a
function that always returns true:
The deprecated Upgrade function does not enforce an origin policy. It's the
application's responsibility to check the Origin header before calling
Upgrade.
