Implemented Interfaces

SoupWebsocketExtensionManager implements SoupSessionFeature.

Includes

#include <libsoup/soup.h>

Description

SoupWebsocketConnection provides support for the WebSocket protocol.

To connect to a WebSocket server, create a SoupSession and call soup_session_websocket_connect_async(). To accept WebSocket connections, create a SoupServer and add a handler to it with soup_server_add_websocket_handler().

(Lower-level support is available via soup_websocket_client_prepare_handshake() and soup_websocket_client_verify_handshake(), for handling the client side of the WebSocket handshake, and soup_websocket_server_process_handshake() for handling the server side.)

SoupWebsocketConnection handles the details of WebSocket communication. You can use soup_websocket_connection_send_text() and soup_websocket_connection_send_binary() to send data, and the “message” signal to receive data. (SoupWebsocketConnection currently only supports asynchronous I/O.)

Functions

soup_websocket_client_prepare_handshake ()

void
soup_websocket_client_prepare_handshake
                               (SoupMessage *msg,
                                const char *origin,
                                char **protocols);

Adds the necessary headers to msg to request a WebSocket handshake. The message body and non-WebSocket-related headers are not modified.

Use soup_websocket_client_prepare_handshake_with_extensions() if you want to include "Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" header in the request.

This is a low-level function; if you use soup_session_websocket_connect_async() to create a WebSocket connection, it will call this for you.

Parameters

msg

a SoupMessage

 

origin

the "Origin" header to set.

[allow-none]

protocols

list of protocols to offer.

[allow-none][array zero-terminated=1]

Since: 2.50


soup_websocket_client_prepare_handshake_with_extensions ()

void
soup_websocket_client_prepare_handshake_with_extensions
                               (SoupMessage *msg,
                                const char *origin,
                                char **protocols,
                                GPtrArray *supported_extensions);

Adds the necessary headers to msg to request a WebSocket handshake including supported WebSocket extensions. The message body and non-WebSocket-related headers are not modified.

This is a low-level function; if you use soup_session_websocket_connect_async() to create a WebSocket connection, it will call this for you.

Parameters

msg

a SoupMessage

 

origin

the "Origin" header to set.

[nullable]

protocols

list of protocols to offer.

[nullable][array zero-terminated=1]

supported_extensions

list of supported extension types.

soup_websocket_client_verify_handshake ()

gboolean
soup_websocket_client_verify_handshake
                               (SoupMessage *msg,
                                GError **error);

Looks at the response status code and headers in msg and determines if they contain a valid WebSocket handshake response (given the handshake request in msg 's request headers).

If the response contains the "Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" header, the handshake will be considered invalid. You need to use soup_websocket_client_verify_handshake_with_extensions() to handle responses with extensions.

This is a low-level function; if you use soup_session_websocket_connect_async() to create a WebSocket connection, it will call this for you.

Parameters

msg

SoupMessage containing both client and server sides of a WebSocket handshake

 

error

return location for a GError

 

Returns

TRUE if msg contains a completed valid WebSocket handshake, FALSE and an error if not.

Since: 2.50


soup_websocket_client_verify_handshake_with_extensions ()

gboolean
soup_websocket_client_verify_handshake_with_extensions
                               (SoupMessage *msg,
                                GPtrArray *supported_extensions,
                                GList **accepted_extensions,
                                GError **error);

Looks at the response status code and headers in msg and determines if they contain a valid WebSocket handshake response (given the handshake request in msg 's request headers).

If supported_extensions is non-NULL, extensions included in the response "Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" are verified too. Accepted extensions are returned in accepted_extensions parameter if non-NULL.

This is a low-level function; if you use soup_session_websocket_connect_async() to create a WebSocket connection, it will call this for you.

Parameters

msg

SoupMessage containing both client and server sides of a WebSocket handshake

 

supported_extensions

list of supported extension types.

[nullable][element-type GObject.TypeClass]

accepted_extensions

a GList of SoupWebsocketExtension objects.

[out][optional][element-type SoupWebsocketExtension]

error

return location for a GError

 

Returns

TRUE if msg contains a completed valid WebSocket handshake, FALSE and an error if not.

Since: 2.68


soup_websocket_server_check_handshake ()

gboolean
soup_websocket_server_check_handshake (SoupMessage *msg,
                                       const char *origin,
                                       char **protocols,
                                       GError **error);

Examines the method and request headers in msg and determines whether msg contains a valid handshake request.

If origin is non-NULL, then only requests containing a matching "Origin" header will be accepted. If protocols is non-NULL, then only requests containing a compatible "Sec-WebSocket-Protocols" header will be accepted.

Requests containing "Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" header will be accepted even if the header is not valid. To check a request with extensions you need to use soup_websocket_server_check_handshake_with_extensions() and provide the list of supported extension types.

Normally soup_websocket_server_process_handshake() will take care of this for you, and if you use soup_server_add_websocket_handler() to handle accepting WebSocket connections, it will call that for you. However, this function may be useful if you need to perform more complicated validation; eg, accepting multiple different Origins, or handling different protocols depending on the path.

Parameters

msg

SoupMessage containing the client side of a WebSocket handshake

 

origin

expected Origin header.

[allow-none]

protocols

allowed WebSocket protocols.

[allow-none][array zero-terminated=1]

error

return location for a GError

 

Returns

TRUE if msg contained a valid WebSocket handshake, FALSE and an error if not.

Since: 2.50


soup_websocket_server_check_handshake_with_extensions ()

gboolean
soup_websocket_server_check_handshake_with_extensions
                               (SoupMessage *msg,
                                const char *origin,
                                char **protocols,
                                GPtrArray *supported_extensions,
                                GError **error);

Examines the method and request headers in msg and determines whether msg contains a valid handshake request.

If origin is non-NULL, then only requests containing a matching "Origin" header will be accepted. If protocols is non-NULL, then only requests containing a compatible "Sec-WebSocket-Protocols" header will be accepted. If supported_extensions is non-NULL, then only requests containing valid supported extensions in "Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" header will be accepted.

Normally soup_websocket_server_process_handshake_with_extensioins() will take care of this for you, and if you use soup_server_add_websocket_handler() to handle accepting WebSocket connections, it will call that for you. However, this function may be useful if you need to perform more complicated validation; eg, accepting multiple different Origins, or handling different protocols depending on the path.

Parameters

msg

SoupMessage containing the client side of a WebSocket handshake

 

origin

expected Origin header.

[nullable]

protocols

allowed WebSocket protocols.

[nullable][array zero-terminated=1]

                                char **protocols);

Examines the method and request headers in msg and (assuming msg contains a valid handshake request), fills in the handshake response.

If expected_origin is non-NULL, then only requests containing a matching "Origin" header will be accepted. If protocols is non-NULL, then only requests containing a compatible "Sec-WebSocket-Protocols" header will be accepted.

Requests containing "Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" header will be accepted even if the header is not valid. To process a request with extensions you need to use soup_websocket_server_process_handshake_with_extensions() and provide the list of supported extension types.

This is a low-level function; if you use soup_server_add_websocket_handler() to handle accepting WebSocket connections, it will call this for you.

Examines the method and request headers in msg and (assuming msg contains a valid handshake request), fills in the handshake response.

If expected_origin is non-NULL, then only requests containing a matching "Origin" header will be accepted. If protocols is non-NULL, then only requests containing a compatible "Sec-WebSocket-Protocols" header will be accepted. If supported_extensions is non-NULL, then only requests containing valid supported extensions in "Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" header will be accepted. The accepted extensions will be returned in accepted_extensions parameter if non-NULL.

Parameters

extension

a SoupWebsocketExtension

 

header

the message header.

[inout]

payload

the payload data.

[transfer full]

error

return location for a GError

 

Returns

the message payload data, or NULL in case of error.

Signal Details

The “closed” signal

void
user_function (SoupWebsocketConnection *self,
               gpointer                 user_data)

Emitted when the connection has completely closed, either due to an orderly close from the peer, one initiated via soup_websocket_connection_close() or a fatal error condition that caused a close.

This signal will be emitted once.

Parameters

self

the WebSocket

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First
