A websocket server using only the Node standard library - no socket.io or any websocket SaaS products. It implements the main tenets of the Websocket Protocol as described in RFC 6455.
It currently publishes random book titles to the client on an interval, but of course this could be replaced with anything.
- Upgrading a TCP connection to websocket
- Parsing incoming websocket request frames
- Returning websocket response frames
- Supports payloads of up to 65,535 bytes.
- Only supports json for now
- Payloads larger than 65,535 bytes not supported
- Protocol-level extentions under the
Sec-WebSocket-Extensionsheader not supported
This is just for fun - using this in production would be thoroughly unwise.
