WebSocket client for AnyEvent
use AnyEvent::WebSocket::Client 0.12;
my $client = AnyEvent::WebSocket::Client->new;
$client->connect("ws://localhost:1234/service")->cb(sub {
my $connection = eval { shift->recv };
if($@) {
# handle error...
}
# send a message through the websocket...
$connection->send('a message');
# recieve message from the websocket...
$connection->on(each_message => sub {
# $connection is the same connection object
# $message isa AnyEvent::WebSocket::Message
my($connection, $message) = @_;
...
});
# handle a closed connection...
$connection->on(finish => sub {
# $connection is the same connection object
my($connection) = @_;
...
});
# close the connection (either inside or
# outside another callback)
$connection->close;
});
This class provides an interface to interact with a web server that provides services via the WebSocket protocol in an AnyEvent context. It uses Protocol::WebSocket rather than reinventing the wheel. You could use AnyEvent and Protocol::WebSocket directly if you wanted finer grain control, but if that is not necessary then this class may save you some time.
The recommended API was added to the AnyEvent::WebSocket::Connection class with version 0.12, so it is recommended that you include that version when using this module. The older API will continue to work for now with deprecation warnings.
Timeout for the initial connection to the web server. The default is 30.
If set to true, then secure WebSockets (those that use SSL/TLS) will not be verified. The default is false.
Provide your own CA certificates file instead of using the system default for SSL/TLS verification.
Open a connection to the web server and open a WebSocket to the resource defined by the given URL. The URL may be either an instance of URI::ws, URI::wss, or a string that represents a legal WebSocket URL.
This method will return an AnyEvent condition variable which you can
attach a callback to. The value sent through the condition variable will
be either an instance of AnyEvent::WebSocket::Connection or a croak
message indicating a failure. The synopsis above shows how to catch
such errors using eval
.
This is pretty simple minded and there are probably WebSocket features that you might like to use that aren't supported by this distribution. Patches are encouraged to improve it.
