Here is my code:
var socket = require('socket.io-client')('http://127.0.0.1:3000/printers', {
query: "shop=" + "123456",
transports: ["websocket"]
});
If I delete query, I can connect to socket. Where am I wrong?
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your client-side code. I can connect by copying and pasting your code.
I suspect the problem is within your server-side code. Here is an example I am using with your client-side code:
var http = require('http');
var io = require('socket.io');
var server = http.createServer(function(req,res){
res.writeHead(200);
res.end('Hello, World!\n');
});
server.listen(80);
var socket = io.listen(server);
socket.use(function(socket, next){
console.log("Query: ", socket.handshake.query);
if (socket.handshake.query.shop == '123456') {
next();
}
next(new Error('You cannot use that shop'));
});
socket.on('connection', function(client) {
console.log('New Connection');
});
I'm able to obtain the query data in the 'socket.use' function. If I don't call the next() function, the client will never get the message that the server has received the response and is connected.
I recommend checking out the example used in this thread.

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"
c# winform tries to send node.js socket through socket.
The client is connected to server, but the socket.emit value and socket.on value do not communicate normally.
I'd like to find a solution to this.
I would like to send this name of client to the server as json type data, receive json type data from the server, read it, and send data back to json.
The data of socket.emit and socket.on are not working properly, so the code has been deleted.
c# code
private void socketLogin(string email, string pw)
{
var socket = IO.Socket("http://localhost:3000/login.html");
socket.On(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, () =>
{
});
var loginjson = new JObject();
loginjson.Add("email", email);
loginjson.Add("password", pw);
socket.Emit("socketlogin", loginjson.ToString());
socket.On("login", (data) => {
MessageBox.Show(data.ToString());
});
}
node.js Code
var server = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
io.on('connection', function(socket) {
console.log('connection');
socket.on('socketlogin', function(data) {
var testLogin = { 'Login': "success" };
socket.emit('login', data);
});
});
server.listen(app.get('3000'))
in your C# you are making your socket inside a function, but at the end of the function the socket is thrown away because it is only a local variable.
There are many ways to deal with this, but essentially what you want to do is use a thread to handle the socket comms then dispatch things back to your UI thread.
I am trying to send a string to the client like this:
socket.emit("start", "calm");
but it is throwing an error, is it because it is not an object ?
First thing first, you should make sure your socket between server-side and client-side is connect. And register event and function to the socket.
Server-side
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
console.log('socket connect' + socket.id);
// when a client connect to server within socket, server will send hello
io.emit('newMsg', "hello")
socket.on('disconnect', function() {
console.log('socket disconnect');
})
// when server receive a message, it will send to all client which connect
to the server
socket.on('data', function (data) {
console.log(socket.id +': ' + data.msg);
var message = {from: socket.id,
msg: data.msg
}
io.emit('newMsg', message)
})
}
Client-side
var socket = io('http://localhost:3000');
socket.on('connect', function (data) {
console.log(data)
})
socket.on('newMsg', function(data) {
console.log(data)
})
// function could bind on button on client side page, get input and send data
function sendData() {
var input = document.getElementsByTagName('input')
var text = input[0].value
var data = { msg: text }
socket.emit('data', data)
}
open console, the information would show in the console. When sending a message on server-side, could use 'broadcast' instead of 'emit' as well to send the message to other clients except you. Read the doc: socket.io doc
I can't seem to call a server function from my client using either socket.io or an ajax call. Any help would be appreciated. For socket.io, I was trying something like this:
server (no error is being thrown, only I never see the console.log):
var app = express();
var server = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
var socket = io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {});
socket.on('admin-refresh', function() {
console.log("*** Admin refresh ***");
});
client (yes I'm including all necessary files, no error is being thrown on client side nor server):
$('document').ready(function() {
var socket = io();
$('#refresh').click(function() {
console.log('refresh clicked..');
io.emit('admin-refresh');
});
});
I don't need any data to be passed, I just want to alert the server to call a function. So perhaps an ajax call would be easier? How would I set up the server to listen for calls?
Why do you have an empty connection callback..? Look at the docs again.
var app = express();
var server = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
io.on('connection', function(socket) {
socket.on('admin-refresh', function() {
console.log("*** Admin refresh ***");
});
});
I want to send the filepath of a file on my server to the client in order to play it using a media player. How can I retrieve that string on the client side in order to concatenate it in the src attribute of a <video element without using sockets?
Server snippet:
res.set('content-type', 'text/plain');
res.send('/files/download.mp4');
This is how you make a request to the server without any frameworks. "/path_to_page" is the route you set to the page that is supposed to process the request.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', '/path_to_page', true);
xhr.onload = function(e) {
if (this.status == 200) {
console.log(this.responseText); // output will be "/files/download.mp4"
}
};
xhr.send();
}
You might also want to send some params.
var formdata = new FormData();
formdata.append("param_name", "value");
So you might for instance want to send the filename or such.
You just need to change 2 lines from the first code snippet. One would be
xhr.open('POST', '/path_to_page', true); // set to post to send the params
xhr.send(formdata); // send the params
To get the params on the server, if you are using express, they are in req.body.param_name
Which framework are you using??
You can declare base path of your project directory in ajax and the followed by your file.
jQuery.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/files/download.mp4",
});
Since you are using express (on node), you could use socket.io:
Server:
var io = require('socket.io').listen(80),
fs = require('fs');
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
socket.on('download', function(req) {
fs.readFile(req.path, function (err, data) {
if (err) throw err;
socket.emit('video', { video: data });
});
});
});
Client:
<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost');
...
// request a download
socket.emit('download', { path: '/files/download.mp4' });
// receive a download
socket.on('video', function (data) {
// do sth with data.video;
});
...
</script>
Edit: didnt notice you didnt want to use sockets. Still it is a viable solution.
