Connect to a non-Meteor server with websockets? - websocket

I'm having trouble using websockets in Meteor and there seem to be mixed messages about whether or not this is even possible. Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me? Ultimately, I'm trying to connect to a server that is not running Meteor. Is this where DDP comes in?
My most recent test was with Sock.js using the following sample code:
<script src="http://cdn.sockjs.org/sockjs-0.3.min.js">
</script>
<script>
var sock = new SockJS('ws://echo.websocket.org/');
sock.onopen = function() {
console.log('open');
alert(sock.readyState);
};
sock.onmessage = function(e) {
console.log('message', e.data);
alert(sock.readyState);
};
sock.onclose = function() {
console.log('close');
alert(sock.readyState);
};
</script>

How to handle Stomp JS disconnect in Spring MVC?

In the project I've been working on, I found a problem with Stomp JS client disconnect.
It's about a case when user closes the tab in browser or when there's a problem with internet connection. In other words, I want to be able to handle this disconnect java side (server side). Is it possible?
I already have code that handles Websocket opening and it works fine, what I want to achieve is to handle connection closing (both expected and unexpected cases)
Here's a piece of my HTML file that includes Stomp JS related code (I can provide Java code as well if it's necessary):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
connect();
});
var stompClient = null;
function connect() {
var socket = new SockJS('/lock-document');
stompClient = Stomp.over(socket);
stompClient.connect({}, function (frame) {
console.log('Connected: ' + frame);
stompClient.subscribe('/notify-open-documents/${id}', function (messageOutput) {
console.log('Receiving message: ' + JSON.parse(messageOutput.body));
});
sendName();
});
}
function disconnect() {
if (stompClient !== null) {
stompClient.disconnect();
}
console.log("Disconnected");
}
function sendName() {
console.log("Sending message : " + JSON.stringify({'documentId' : "${id}" }));
stompClient.send('/ws/lock-document', {}, JSON.stringify({'documentId': "${id}"}));
}
</script>

socket.io Websocket connection inside a HTML5 SharedWorker

I hope you all are doing well. I'm trying to establish connection to socket.io server from inside of the worker.js file using importScripts which loads the socket.io-client js file which is in the same directory with worker.js. After loading socket.io-client
by using var socket = io.connect('http://38.98.xxx.xxx:6000'); I am trying to establish connection to socket.io server on different host, but it ain't working. Please point me in the right direction.I appreciate any help.
<script>
var worker = new SharedWorker("http://baseUrl.com/js/push/worker/worker.js");
worker.port.addEventListener("message", function(e) {
console.log("Got message: " + e.data);
}, false);
worker.port.start();
worker.port.postMessage("start");
</script>
worker.js
importScripts('socket.io.js');
var socket = io.connect('http://38.98.154.167:6000');
var connections = 0;
self.addEventListener("connect", function(e) {
var port = e.ports[0];
connections ++;
port.addEventListener("message", function(e) {
if (e.data === "start") {
port.postMessage('hello');
}
}, false);
port.start();
}, false);
socket.on('connect', function () {
port.postMessage('connect');
});
socket.on('disconnect', function () {
port.postMessage('disconnect');
});
I figured it out. Just had to move
socket.on('connect', function () {
port.postMessage('connect');
});
socket.on('disconnect', function () {
port.postMessage('disconnect');
});
into the self.addEventListener("connect", function(e) {});in the worker.js and change from var socket=io.connect('http://38.98.xxx.xxx:6000');
to
var socket = io('http://38.98.xxx.xxx:6000');
Here is the working example is case if anybody needs.
worker.js
importScripts('socket.io.js');
var socket = io('http://38.98.xxx.xxx:6000');
var connections = 0;
self.addEventListener("connect", function(e) {
var port = e.ports[0];
connections ++;
port.addEventListener("message", function(e) {
if (e.data === "start") {
port.postMessage('hello');
}
}, false);
port.start();
socket.on('push', function(pushed){
port.postMessage(pushed);
});
socket.on('connect', function () {
port.postMessage('connect');
});
socket.on('disconnect', function () {
port.postMessage('disconnect');
});
}, false);
There is a drop in replacement for const io = require('socket.io-client');
which runs the connection for the returned socket in a dedicated webworker. It is
const io = require('sockerworker.io');
const socket = io([url][, options]);
Instead of writing your own boilerplate for the webworker, you could use this. It is available here via npm. (disclosure: I am its author.)

Post with AngularJS doesn't work

I would like to send a post request to my API. It works with jQuery :
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "api.php?option=inscription",
data: {lol : "mess"}
});
</script>
But it doesn't with AngularJS :
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"> </script>
{{1+1}}
<script>
$http.post('api.php?option=inscription', {lol : "mess2"})
.success(function(){alert('cool');});
</script>
If someone can help me. Thank you !
UPDATE :
Thank for your answers, I wanted to simplify but it wasn't clear anymore. So with your help, this is my new code, and the problem is the same. The data in the backend is empty ;
frontend :
<html ng-app="myApp">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"> </script>
<div ng-controller="MainCtrl"></div>
{{data}}
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.service('SomeService', function($http) {
this.readData = function(dataUrl, dataTobePosted) {
var back = $http.post(dataUrl, dataTobePosted);
back.success(function(data){
console.log(data);
return data;
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
return status;
});
}
});
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, $http, SomeService){
$scope.readData = function(url) {
var dataTobePosted = {"lol": "mess"};
$scope.data = SomeService.readData(url, dataTobePosted);
}
$scope.readData('api.php?option=inscription');
});
</script>
</html>
For clarity, I am suggesting a simple implementation. However, further reading may needed in order to understand the behaviour precisely.
angular.module('myApp').service('SomeService', function($http) {
this.readData = function(dataUrl, dataTobePosted) {
// read data;
return $http.post(dataUrl, dataTobePosted)
.then(function(res) {
return res.data;
}, function(res) {
return res;
}
}
return this;
});
angular.module('myApp').controller('MyController', function($scope, SomeService) {
$scope.readData = function(url) {
var dataTobePosted = {"lol": "mess"};
SomeService.readData(url, dataTobePosted)
.then(function(res) {
$scope.data = res;
}, function(res) {
// Display error
}
}
$scope.readData('api.php?option=inscription');
}
Usage in the HTML page
<div ng-controller="MyController">
{{data}}
</div>
You're using AngularJS as if it's jQuery. It's not. AngularJS works with dependency injection, so you need to wrap your $http call inside a controller.
You should probably read up on AngularJS. A few useful links:
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/introduction
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/controller
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/di
"Thinking in AngularJS" if I have a jQuery background?
My bad, my problem came from my backend in the php I just get my data with :
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));
and not with $_POST

Simulation js websockets in PHP

Here is js code
websocket = new WebSocket(wsUri);
websocket.onopen = function(evt) { onOpen(evt) };
websocket.onclose = function(evt) { onClose(evt) };
websocket.onmessage = function(evt) { onMessage(evt) };
websocket.onerror = function(evt) { onError(evt) };
websocket.send('some_message');
It connects to wsUri, bind some handlers and send "some_message" to the server. How can I do that in PHP? I want to send message to wsUri from another php script.
The simplest solution would be to use a WebSocket Client-Server library for PHP and simply use the Client part in your script. There seems to be a number of available solutions:

AJAX call to ASP page to update database record works only once in IE9

After several pieces of helpful advice from the members of this forum I'm getting closer to solving what should be a simple issue. I'm a complete newbie to AJAX.
Can someone please tell me why this piece of code works fine in Firefox 8 but not in IE 9? It works ONCE in IE but not again unless I close the browser and reopen!!??
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
//Browser Support Code
function ajaxFunction(){
var ajaxRequest;
try {
// Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari
ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch(e) {
// Internet Explorer Browsers
try {
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch(e) {
try {
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e){
// Something went wrong
alert("Your browser broke!");
return false;
}
}
}
// Create a function that will receive data sent from the server
ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (ajaxRequest.readyState == 4) {
}
}
ajaxRequest.open("GET", "disp_processTEXT.asp", false);
ajaxRequest.send(null);
}
//-->
</script>
The readystate is left blank as it is copied code which originally assigned a value to a div but I only want to run the database code in the asp page. Presumably this could have been deleted?
The code to be run in the asp page is
<%
Set MyConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
MyConn.Open "dsn=xxx;uid=xxx;password=xxx;"
SQLString = "UPDATE dbo_tbl_printing_tempstore SET front_has_text1 = 'YES', front_text = 'help' WHERE id = 106567"
MyConn.Execute(SQLString)
MyConn.Close
Set MyConn = Nothing
%>
Please help me as this is driving me mad.
Many thanks
Switch to jQuery and its Ajax system as it should be cross browser compatable out the box, and saves you huge amounts of time:
Add a reference for jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
and switch to its Ajax method (place below the above):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'disp_processTEXT.asp',
success: function(response) {
alert('It worked');
}
});
});
</script>
Update:
To bind to the onblur event using jQuery try this. Remove the onblur= attribute from your current code.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#yourinput').on('blur', function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'disp_processTEXT.asp',
success: function(response) {
alert('It worked');
}
});
});
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/qmPLj/
Try this. It has worked for me across all browsers but some Opera versions.
function GetXmlHttpObject(handler)
{
var objXmlHttp=null;
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0)
{
var strName="Msxml2.XMLHTTP";
if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE 5.5")>=0)
{
strName="Microsoft.XMLHTTP";
}
try
{
objXmlHttp=new ActiveXObject(strName);
objXmlHttp.onreadystatechange=handler;
return objXmlHttp;
}
catch(e)
{
alert("Error. Scripting for ActiveX might be disabled");
return;
}
}
else //All other browsers
{
objXmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
objXmlHttp.onload=handler;
objXmlHttp.onerror=handler;
return objXmlHttp;
}
}
var url= "http://www.example.com/";
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject(stateChanged);
xmlHttp.open("GET", url , true);
xmlHttp.send(null);
