This is the ws module, what I want to ask is how to get the client's MAC, ip and other information when connecting
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const WebSocketServer = WebSocket.Server;
const wss = new WebSocketServer({
//...
}, () => {
});
wss.on('connection', function (ws, req) {}); //How to get client MAC, ip and other information?
I don't know what you mean by "other information", but req is an http.IncomingMessage, so the documentation would be a good starting point.
For example, the IP address is accessible as req.socket.localAddress.
You won't be able to get the MAC address.

I am using socket.io to connect to a different domain, and it can successfully connect using polling, however when attempting to connect using websockets gets the error "WebSocket connection to 'wss://XXXXX' failed".
After observing the network activity the server seems to indicate that it is capable of upgrading to a websocket connection (although I won't claim to be an expert in understanding these requests), but isn't able to do so:
I'm just trying to produce a minimal viable product right now so here is my node.js server code:
let http = require('http');
let https = require('https');
let fs = require('fs');
let express = require('express');
const privateKey = fs.readFileSync('XXXXXXXXX', 'utf8');
const certificate = fs.readFileSync('XXXXXXXXX', 'utf8');
const ca = fs.readFileSync('XXXXXXXXX', 'utf8');
const options = {
key: privateKey,
cert: certificate,
ca: ca
};
let app = express();
let httpsServer = https.createServer(options,app);
let io = require('socket.io')(httpsServer, {
cors: {
origin: true
}
});
httpsServer.listen(443);
console.log('starting');
io.sockets.on('connection', (socket) => {
console.log("something is happening right now")
socket.on("salutations", data => {
console.log(`you are now connected via ${socket.conn.transport.name}`);
socket.emit("greetings", "I am the socket confirming that we are now connected");
});
});
Client-side JavaScript:
const socket = io("https://XXXXXXX");
console.log(socket);
socket.on("connect", () => {
console.log("now connected");
socket.on("message", data => {
console.log(data);
});
socket.on("greetings", (elem) => {
console.log(elem);
});
});
let h1 = document.querySelector('h1');
h1.addEventListener('click',()=>{
console.log("I am now doing something");
socket.emit("salutations", "Hello!");
})
The only suggestion in the official documentation for this issue isn't relevant because I'm not using a proxy, and other suggested fixes result in no connection at all (presumably because they prevent it from falling back to polling)
EDIT: also if it helps narrow down the problem, when querying my server using https://www.piesocket.com/websocket-tester it results in "Connection failed, see your browser's developer console for reason and error code"
There must be something obvious I am missing. I have an external record like https/udspace.udel.edu/rest/handle/19716/28599 that is not set up for CORS, but I would like to get access to it in my application. In the past, I have set up a server to simply GET the resource and redeliver it for my application. However, I read about Node http-proxy-middleware and thought I'd try out a more direct proxy.
First, I could not use the target in the createProxyMiddleware() constructor because I wanted to send in the hostname and path of the desired resource like, perhaps, http://example.com/https/udspace.udel.edu/rest/handle/19716/28599 to get the resource above.
Relevant Code (index.js)
const express = require('express')
const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware')
const app = express()
app.get('/info', (req, res, next) => {
res.send('Proxy is up.');
})
// Proxy endpoint
app.use('/https', createProxyMiddleware({
target: "incoming",
router: req => {
const protocol = 'https'
const hostname = req.path.split("/https/")[1].split("/")[0]
const path = req.path.split(hostname)[1]
console.log(`returning: ${protocol}, ${hostname}, ${path}`)
return `${protocol}://${hostname}/${path}`
},
changeOrigin: true
}))
app.listen(PORT, HOST, () => {
console.log(`Starting Proxy at ${HOST}:${PORT}`);
})
I was getting a 404 from the DSpace server without other information, so I knew that the request was going through, but transformed incorrectly. I tried again with an item in an S3 bucket, since AWS gives better errors and saw that my path was being duplicated:
404 Not Found
Code: NoSuchKey
Message: The specified key does not exist.
Key: api/cookbook/recipe/0001-mvm-image/manifest.json/https/iiif.io/api/cookbook/recipe/0001-mvm-image/manifest.json
What dumb thing am I doing wrong? Is this not what this proxy is for and I need to do something else?
I have been trying without success to use http module in my Node.js endpoint to do a simple http get.
I have followed the various tutorials to execute the get within my intent, but it keeps failing with getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND in the cloudwatch log.
It seems like I am preparing the url correctly, if I just cut and past the url output into the browswer I get the expected response, and its just a plain http get over port 80.
I suspect that maybe the Alexa hosted lambda doesn't have permission necessary to make remote calls to non-amazon web services, but I don't know this for sure.
Can anybody shed any light? FYI this is the code in my lambda:
var http = require('http');
function httpGet(address, zip, zillowid) {
const pathval = 'www.zillow.com/webservice/GetSearchResults.htm' + `?zws-id=${zillowid}` + `&address=${encodeURIComponent(address)}&citystatezip=${zip}`;
console.log ("pathval =" + pathval);
return new Promise(((resolve, reject) => {
var options = {
host: pathval,
port: 80,
method: 'GET',
};
const request = http.request(options, (response) => {
response.setEncoding('utf8');
console.log("options are" + options);
let returnData = '';
response.on('data', (chunk) => {
returnData += chunk;
});
response.on('end', () => {
resolve(JSON.parse(returnData));
});
response.on('error', (error) => {
console.log("I see there was an error, which is " + error);
reject(error);
});
});
request.end();
}));
}
host: pathval is incorrect usage of the Node.js http module. You need to provide the hostname and the path + query string as two different options.
An example of correct usage:
host: 'example.com',
path: '/webservice/GetSearchResults.htm?zws-id=...',
(Of course, these can be variables, they don't need to be literals as shown here for clarity.)
The error occurs because you're treating the whole URL as a hostname, and as such it doesn't exist.
I suspect that maybe the Alexa hosted lambda doesn't have permission necessary to make remote calls to non-amazon web services
There is no restriction on what services you can contact from a within a Lambda function (other than filters that protect against sending spam email directly to random mail servers).
Not able to hit my simple node web server hosted on an ubuntu EC2 in AWS. But I can't see I've missed anything! I've provided screen shots below within AWS - What am I missing? Please help!.
Many thanks,
Node code
const http = require('http');
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 8080;
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
res.end('Hello World\n');
});
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
Command prompt
$ node index.js
Command prompt response
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/
EC2 instance
Security settings
Elastic IP settings
Browser
http://"Public DNS (IPv4) value":8080/
Update
When you select the type, select "Custom TCP Rule":
and enter 8080 in the port range field.
EDIT
However, that only gets you part of the way. If you notice, your server is listening on the IP address 127.0.0.1. That means that it's not listen to the outside world, only localhost. To access it outside of the server machine you'll need to change your code to:
const http = require('http');
const hostname = '0.0.0.0';
const port = 8080;
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
res.end('Hello World\n');
});
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
The change is that you're now listening on "all interfaces" as compared to just localhost.
Please, how can I get sender IP address using uWebSockets?
const wss = new uws.Server({
server: server,
perMessageDeflate: false
});
wss.on(`connection`, ws => {
ws.remoteAddress = ws.upgradeReq.connection.remoteAddress;
console.log(`user connected: `, ws.remoteAddress);
});
user connected is undefined
Please try this:
wss.on(`connection`, ws => {
ws.remoteAddress = ws._socket.remoteAddress;
console.log(`user connected: `, ws.remoteAddress);
});
You can also log ws._socket to know what it is.
ws._socket.remoteAddress should work , but if you ws server is behind a load balancer, you can get it via :
ws.upgradeReq.headers["x-forwarded-for"]
