ESP WebSocket Client
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
The ESP WebSocket client is an implementation of `WebSocket protocol client <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455>`_ for {IDF_TARGET_NAME}
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
* Supports WebSocket over TCP, TLS with mbedtls
|
|
* Easy to setup with URI
|
|
* Multiple instances (Multiple clients in one application)
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
URI
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
- Supports ``ws``, ``wss`` schemes
|
|
- WebSocket samples:
|
|
|
|
- ``ws://echo.websocket.org``: WebSocket over TCP, default port 80
|
|
- ``wss://echo.websocket.org``: WebSocket over SSL, default port 443
|
|
|
|
Minimal configurations:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: c
|
|
|
|
const esp_websocket_client_config_t ws_cfg = {
|
|
.uri = "ws://echo.websocket.org",
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
The WebSocket client supports the use of both path and query in the URI. Sample:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: c
|
|
|
|
const esp_websocket_client_config_t ws_cfg = {
|
|
.uri = "ws://echo.websocket.org/connectionhandler?id=104",
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there are any options related to the URI in
|
|
:cpp:type:`esp_websocket_client_config_t`, the option defined by the URI will be
|
|
overridden. Sample:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: c
|
|
|
|
const esp_websocket_client_config_t ws_cfg = {
|
|
.uri = "ws://echo.websocket.org:123",
|
|
.port = 4567,
|
|
};
|
|
//WebSocket client will connect to websocket.org using port 4567
|
|
|
|
TLS
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: c
|
|
|
|
const esp_websocket_client_config_t ws_cfg = {
|
|
.uri = "wss://echo.websocket.org",
|
|
.cert_pem = (const char *)websocket_org_pem_start,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
.. note:: If you want to verify the server, then you need to provide a certificate in PEM format, and provide to ``cert_pem`` in :cpp:type:`websocket_client_config_t`. If no certficate is provided then the TLS connection will to default not requiring verification.
|
|
|
|
PEM certificate for this example could be extracted from an openssl `s_client` command connecting to websocket.org.
|
|
In case a host operating system has `openssl` and `sed` packages installed, one could execute the following command to download and save the root or intermediate root certificate to a file (Note for Windows users: Both Linux like environment or Windows native packages may be used).
|
|
```
|
|
echo "" | openssl s_client -showcerts -connect websocket.org:443 | sed -n "1,/Root/d; /BEGIN/,/END/p" | openssl x509 -outform PEM >websocket_org.pem
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will extract the second certificate in the chain and save it as a pem-file.
|
|
|
|
Subprotocol
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The subprotocol field in the config struct can be used to request a subprotocol
|
|
|
|
.. code:: c
|
|
|
|
const esp_websocket_client_config_t ws_cfg = {
|
|
.uri = "ws://websocket.org",
|
|
.subprotocol = "soap",
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The client is indifferent to the subprotocol field in the server response and will accept the connection no matter what the server replies.
|
|
|
|
For more options on :cpp:type:`esp_websocket_client_config_t`, please refer to API reference below
|
|
|
|
Events
|
|
------
|
|
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_CONNECTED`: The client has successfully established a connection to the server. The client is now ready to send and receive data. Contains no event data.
|
|
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_DISCONNECTED`: The client has aborted the connection due to the transport layer failing to read data, e.g. because the server is unavailable. Contains no event data.
|
|
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_DATA`: The client has successfully received and parsed a WebSocket frame. The event data contains a pointer to the payload data, the length of the payload data as well as the opcode of the received frame. A message may be fragmented into multiple events if the length exceeds the buffer size. This event will also be posted for non-payload frames, e.g. pong or connection close frames.
|
|
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_ERROR`: Not used in the current implementation of the client.
|
|
|
|
If the client handle is needed in the event handler it can be accessed through the pointer passed to the event handler:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: c
|
|
|
|
esp_websocket_client_handle_t client = (esp_websocket_client_handle_t)handler_args;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Limitations and Known Issues
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
* The client is able to request the use of a subprotocol from the server during the handshake, but does not do any subprotocol related checks on the response from the server.
|
|
|
|
Application Example
|
|
-------------------
|
|
A simple WebSocket example that uses esp_websocket_client to establish a websocket connection and send/receive data with the `websocket.org <https://websocket.org>`_ server can be found here: :example:`protocols/websocket`.
|
|
|
|
Sending Text Data
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
The WebSocket client supports sending data as a text data frame, which informs the application layer that the payload data is text data encoded as UTF-8. Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: cpp
|
|
|
|
esp_websocket_client_send_text(client, data, len, portMAX_DELAY);
|
