Websocket Client IRIS internal

IRIS 2010.1 brought us a new feature: %Net.WebSocket.Client

As a continuation of my series of WS Clients I just couldn't resist to try it.
Well, this is the result and it was rather simple in the end.

  • After I succeeded in my personal fight against Windows Firewall ;-)

You basically need to prepare 3 classes:

  • Credentials for User, PW, SSL
  • an Event Listener
  • the Client (Could be a .MAC routine as well)

The example uses the WSS.EchoServer (a derivate from former SAMPLES in Caché).
The default assumption is to have Client and Server on the same system & namespace.
But if you have some other echo server (e.g. ws://echo.websocket.org)
you just pass the URL as param.

You start it
by DO ##CLASS(WSCI.Client).Try()
or DO ##CLASS(WSCI.Client).Try(server_url)

USER>DO ##CLASS(WSCI.Client).Try()
