hxWebSockets

Fork of https://github.com/soywiz/haxe-ws

Haxe Websockets supporting the following targets:

• C++
• HashLink
• JavaScript

Incomplete support for Java and C#.

Examples

Client

import haxe.io.Bytes;
import hx.ws.Log;
import hx.ws.WebSocket;
class Main {
    static function main() {
        Log.mask = Log.INFO | Log.DEBUG | Log.DATA;
        var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:5000");
        ws.onopen = function() {
            ws.send("alice string");
            ws.send(Bytes.ofString("alice bytes"));
        }
        #if sys
        Sys.getChar(true);
        #end
    }
}

Server

Main.hx

import hx.ws.Log;
import hx.ws.WebSocketServer;
class Main {
    static function main() {
        Log.mask = Log.INFO | Log.DEBUG | Log.DATA;
        var server = new WebSocketServer<MyHandler>("localhost", 5000, 10);
        server.start();
    }
}

MyHandler.hx

import hx.ws.SocketImpl;
import hx.ws.WebSocketHandler;
import hx.ws.Types;
class MyHandler extends WebSocketHandler {
    public function new(s: SocketImpl) {
        super(s);
        onopen = function() {
            trace(id + ". OPEN");
        }
        onclose = function() {
            trace(id + ". CLOSE");
        }
        onmessage = function(message: MessageType) {
            switch (message) {
                case BytesMessage(content):
                    trace(content.readAllAvailableBytes());
                case StrMessage(content):
                    var str = "echo: " + content;
                    trace(str);
                    send(str);
            }
        }
        onerror = function(error) {
            trace(id + ". ERROR: " + error);
        }
    }
}

Secure server

Main.hx

package;

import hx.ws.WebSocketSecureServer;

import sys.ssl.Key;
import sys.ssl.Certificate;


class Main
{

    public static function main()
    {
        // self signed ceritificate
        var cert = Certificate.loadFile('example.cert');
        var key = Key.loadFile('example.key');

        var server = new WebSocketSecureServer<SocketHandler>("0.0.0.0", 5000,
            cert, // actual certificate
            key,  // key to the certificate
            cert, // certificate chain to aid clients finding way to trusted root,
                  // pass cert in case of selfsigned
            10);
        server.start();
    }
}

Initialize client with wss protocol, e.g. new WebSocket("wss://localhost:5000");

Accepting selfsigned certs

Only on sys platforms, since they expose SslSocket. If you need to test JS with selfsigned certs, you need to import certificate into your browser trusted collection.

import hx.ws.Log;
import hx.ws.WebSocket;

import hx.ws.SocketImpl;
import hx.ws.SecureSocketImpl;

class WebSocketNoVerify extends WebSocket {
    override private function createSocket():SocketImpl
    {
        if (_protocol == "wss") {
            var socket:SecureSocketImpl = cast super.createSocket();
            socket.verifyCert = false;
            return socket;
        }
        return super.createSocket();
    }
}

class Main {
    static function main() {
        Log.mask = Log.INFO | Log.DEBUG | Log.DATA;
        var ws = new WebSocketNoVerify("wss://localhost:5000");
        ws.onopen = function() {
            ws.send("alice string");
        }
        Sys.getChar(true);
    }
}
