How to create websocket server endpoints?

[ccnlui]

How would you implement a server endpoint?

For example, client would connect to ws://localhost:8080/myendpoint, instead of just ws://localhost:8080.

I assumed I'd have to implement this function myself inside onSessionConnected, but the Session object doesn't seem to provide any information on the client's request, I was hoping to be able to get the request's path/endpoint/query etc...

How can this be done?

Thank you.

Hi @ccnlui babl will accept web-socket connections to any URI on the port. So your client should be able to connect to

ws://localhost:8080/myendpoint

or indeed

ws://localhost:8080/anything_else_you_like

however, the URI part of the request is not parsed or surfaced by the library in any way.

Header parsing is done in KeyDecoder, which would be a reasonable place to detect/assign the request URI:

I would consider a PR that added the request URI to the session object.

Here's my attempt: https://github.com/babl-ws/babl/pull/122 I'd appreciate any feeback.
