Overview ¶
Package websocket implements the RFC 6455 WebSocket protocol.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455
Use Dial to dial a WebSocket server.
Use Accept to accept a WebSocket client.
Conn represents the resulting WebSocket connection.
The examples are the best way to understand how to correctly use the library.
The wsjson subpackage contain helpers for JSON and protobuf messages.
More documentation at https://nhooyr.io/websocket.
Wasm ¶
The client side supports compiling to Wasm. It wraps the WebSocket browser API.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSocket
Some important caveats to be aware of:
- Accept always errors out
- Conn.Ping is no-op
- Conn.CloseNow is Close(StatusGoingAway, "")
- HTTPClient, HTTPHeader and CompressionMode in DialOptions are no-op
- *http.Response from Dial is &http.Response{} with a 101 status code on success
Example (CrossOrigin) ¶
package main import ( "log" "net/http" "nhooyr.io/websocket" ) func main() { // This handler demonstrates how to safely accept cross origin WebSockets // from the origin example.com. fn := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { c, err := websocket.Accept(w, r, &websocket.AcceptOptions{ OriginPatterns: []string{"example.com"}, }) if err != nil { log.Println(err) return } c.Close(websocket.StatusNormalClosure, "cross origin WebSocket accepted") }) err := http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8080", fn) log.Fatal(err) }

Example (Echo) ¶
This example demonstrates a echo server.
package main import () func main() { // https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket/tree/master/internal/examples/echo }

Functions ¶
func NetConn
deprecated
added in
v1.3.0
NetConn converts a *websocket.Conn into a net.Conn.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
It's for tunneling arbitrary protocols over WebSockets. Few users of the library will need this but it's tricky to implement correctly and so provided in the library. See https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket/issues/100.
Every Write to the net.Conn will correspond to a message write of the given type on *websocket.Conn.
The passed ctx bounds the lifetime of the net.Conn. If cancelled, all reads and writes on the net.Conn will be cancelled.
If a message is read that is not of the correct type, the connection will be closed with StatusUnsupportedData and an error will be returned.
Close will close the *websocket.Conn with StatusNormalClosure.
When a deadline is hit and there is an active read or write goroutine, the connection will be closed. This is different from most net.Conn implementations where only the reading/writing goroutines are interrupted but the connection is kept alive.
The Addr methods will return the real addresses for connections obtained from websocket.Accept. But for connections obtained from websocket.Dial, a mock net.Addr will be returned that gives "websocket" for Network() and "websocket/unknown-addr" for String(). This is because websocket.Dial only exposes a io.ReadWriteCloser instead of the full net.Conn to us.
When running as WASM, the Addr methods will always return the mock address described above.
A received StatusNormalClosure or StatusGoingAway close frame will be translated to io.EOF when reading.
Furthermore, the ReadLimit is set to -1 to disable it.
Types ¶
type AcceptOptions
deprecated
added in
v0.2.0
type AcceptOptions struct { // Subprotocols lists the WebSocket subprotocols that Accept will negotiate with the client. // The empty subprotocol will always be negotiated as per RFC 6455. If you would like to // reject it, close the connection when c.Subprotocol() == "". Subprotocols []string // InsecureSkipVerify is used to disable Accept's origin verification behaviour. // // You probably want to use OriginPatterns instead. InsecureSkipVerify bool // OriginPatterns lists the host patterns for authorized origins. // The request host is always authorized. // Use this to enable cross origin WebSockets. // // i.e javascript running on example.com wants to access a WebSocket server at chat.example.com. // In such a case, example.com is the origin and chat.example.com is the request host. // One would set this field to []string{"example.com"} to authorize example.com to connect. // // Each pattern is matched case insensitively against the request origin host // with filepath.Match. // See https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/#Match // // Please ensure you understand the ramifications of enabling this. // If used incorrectly your WebSocket server will be open to CSRF attacks. // // Do not use * as a pattern to allow any origin, prefer to use InsecureSkipVerify instead // to bring attention to the danger of such a setting. OriginPatterns []string // CompressionMode controls the compression mode. // Defaults to CompressionDisabled. // // See docs on CompressionMode for details. CompressionMode CompressionMode // CompressionThreshold controls the minimum size of a message before compression is applied. // // Defaults to 512 bytes for CompressionNoContextTakeover and 128 bytes // for CompressionContextTakeover. CompressionThreshold int }
AcceptOptions represents Accept's options.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
type CloseError
deprecated
type CloseError struct { Code StatusCode Reason string }
CloseError is returned when the connection is closed with a status and reason.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
Use Go 1.13's errors.As to check for this error. Also see the CloseStatus helper.
func (CloseError) Error
deprecated
func (ce CloseError) Error() string
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
type CompressionMode
deprecated
added in
v1.8.0
type CompressionMode int
CompressionMode represents the modes available to the permessage-deflate extension. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7692
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
Works in all modern browsers except Safari which does not implement the permessage-deflate extension.
Compression is only used if the peer supports the mode selected.
const ( // CompressionDisabled disables the negotiation of the permessage-deflate extension. // // This is the default. Do not enable compression without benchmarking for your particular use case first. CompressionDisabled CompressionMode = iota // CompressionContextTakeover compresses each message greater than 128 bytes reusing the 32 KB sliding window from // previous messages. i.e compression context across messages is preserved. // // As most WebSocket protocols are text based and repetitive, this compression mode can be very efficient. // // The memory overhead is a fixed 32 KB sliding window, a fixed 1.2 MB flate.Writer and a sync.Pool of 40 KB flate.Reader's // that are used when reading and then returned. // // Thus, it uses more memory than CompressionNoContextTakeover but compresses more efficiently. // // If the peer does not support CompressionContextTakeover then we will fall back to CompressionNoContextTakeover. CompressionContextTakeover // CompressionNoContextTakeover compresses each message greater than 512 bytes. Each message is compressed with // a new 1.2 MB flate.Writer pulled from a sync.Pool. Each message is read with a 40 KB flate.Reader pulled from // a sync.Pool. // // This means less efficient compression as the sliding window from previous messages will not be used but the // memory overhead will be lower as there will be no fixed cost for the flate.Writer nor the 32 KB sliding window. // Especially if the connections are long lived and seldom written to. // // Thus, it uses less memory than CompressionContextTakeover but compresses less efficiently. // // If the peer does not support CompressionNoContextTakeover then we will fall back to CompressionDisabled. CompressionNoContextTakeover )
type Conn
deprecated
type Conn struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Conn represents a WebSocket connection. All methods may be called concurrently except for Reader and Read.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
You must always read from the connection. Otherwise control frames will not be handled. See Reader and CloseRead.
Be sure to call Close on the connection when you are finished with it to release associated resources.
On any error from any method, the connection is closed with an appropriate reason.
This applies to context expirations as well unfortunately. See https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket/issues/242#issuecomment-633182220
func Accept
deprecated
func Accept(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, opts *AcceptOptions) (*Conn, error)
Accept accepts a WebSocket handshake from a client and upgrades the the connection to a WebSocket.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
Accept will not allow cross origin requests by default. See the InsecureSkipVerify and OriginPatterns options to allow cross origin requests.
Accept will write a response to w on all errors.
Example ¶
package main import ( "context" "log" "net/http" "time" "nhooyr.io/websocket" "nhooyr.io/websocket/wsjson" ) func main() { // This handler accepts a WebSocket connection, reads a single JSON // message from the client and then closes the connection. fn := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { c, err := websocket.Accept(w, r, nil) if err != nil { log.Println(err) return } defer c.CloseNow() ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(r.Context(), time.Second*10) defer cancel() var v interface{} err = wsjson.Read(ctx, c, &v) if err != nil { log.Println(err) return } c.Close(websocket.StatusNormalClosure, "") }) err := http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8080", fn) log.Fatal(err) }
Output:
func Dial
deprecated
Dial performs a WebSocket handshake on url.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
The response is the WebSocket handshake response from the server. You never need to close resp.Body yourself.
If an error occurs, the returned response may be non nil. However, you can only read the first 1024 bytes of the body.
This function requires at least Go 1.12 as it uses a new feature in net/http to perform WebSocket handshakes. See docs on the HTTPClient option and https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26937#issuecomment-415855861
URLs with http/https schemes will work and are interpreted as ws/wss.
Example ¶
package main import ( "context" "log" "time" "nhooyr.io/websocket" "nhooyr.io/websocket/wsjson" ) func main() { // Dials a server, writes a single JSON message and then // closes the connection. ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Minute) defer cancel() c, _, err := websocket.Dial(ctx, "ws:https://localhost:8080", nil) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer c.CloseNow() err = wsjson.Write(ctx, c, "hi") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } c.Close(websocket.StatusNormalClosure, "") }
Output:
func (*Conn) Close
deprecated
func (c *Conn) Close(code StatusCode, reason string) (err error)
Close performs the WebSocket close handshake with the given status code and reason.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
It will write a WebSocket close frame with a timeout of 5s and then wait 5s for the peer to send a close frame. All data messages received from the peer during the close handshake will be discarded.
The connection can only be closed once. Additional calls to Close are no-ops.
The maximum length of reason must be 125 bytes. Avoid sending a dynamic reason.
Close will unblock all goroutines interacting with the connection once complete.
func (*Conn) CloseNow
deprecated
added in
v1.8.8
CloseNow closes the WebSocket connection without attempting a close handshake. Use when you do not want the overhead of the close handshake.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
func (*Conn) CloseRead
deprecated
added in
v1.2.1
CloseRead starts a goroutine to read from the connection until it is closed or a data message is received.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
Once CloseRead is called you cannot read any messages from the connection. The returned context will be cancelled when the connection is closed.
If a data message is received, the connection will be closed with StatusPolicyViolation.
Call CloseRead when you do not expect to read any more messages. Since it actively reads from the connection, it will ensure that ping, pong and close frames are responded to. This means c.Ping and c.Close will still work as expected.
This function is idempotent.
func (*Conn) Ping
deprecated
added in
v1.0.0
Ping sends a ping to the peer and waits for a pong. Use this to measure latency or ensure the peer is responsive. Ping must be called concurrently with Reader as it does not read from the connection but instead waits for a Reader call to read the pong.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
TCP Keepalives should suffice for most use cases.
Example ¶
package main import ( "context" "log" "time" "nhooyr.io/websocket" ) func main() { // Dials a server and pings it 5 times. ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Minute) defer cancel() c, _, err := websocket.Dial(ctx, "ws:https://localhost:8080", nil) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer c.CloseNow() // Required to read the Pongs from the server. ctx = c.CloseRead(ctx) for i := 0; i < 5; i++ { err = c.Ping(ctx) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } } c.Close(websocket.StatusNormalClosure, "") }
Output:
func (*Conn) Read
deprecated
added in
v1.0.0
Read is a convenience method around Reader to read a single message from the connection.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
func (*Conn) Reader
deprecated
added in
v0.2.0
Reader reads from the connection until there is a WebSocket data message to be read. It will handle ping, pong and close frames as appropriate.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
It returns the type of the message and an io.Reader to read it. The passed context will also bound the reader. Ensure you read to EOF otherwise the connection will hang.
Call CloseRead if you do not expect any data messages from the peer.
Only one Reader may be open at a time.
If you need a separate timeout on the Reader call and the Read itself, use time.AfterFunc to cancel the context passed in. See https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket/issues/87#issue-451703332 Most users should not need this.
func (*Conn) SetReadLimit
deprecated
added in
v1.0.0
SetReadLimit sets the max number of bytes to read for a single message. It applies to the Reader and Read methods.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
By default, the connection has a message read limit of 32768 bytes.
When the limit is hit, the connection will be closed with StatusMessageTooBig.
Set to -1 to disable.
func (*Conn) Subprotocol
deprecated
Subprotocol returns the negotiated subprotocol. An empty string means the default protocol.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
func (*Conn) Write
deprecated
added in
v1.0.0
Write writes a message to the connection.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
See the Writer method if you want to stream a message.
If compression is disabled or the compression threshold is not met, then it will write the message in a single frame.
func (*Conn) Writer
deprecated
added in
v0.2.0
func (c *Conn) Writer(ctx context.Context, typ MessageType) (io.WriteCloser, error)
Writer returns a writer bounded by the context that will write a WebSocket message of type dataType to the connection.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
You must close the writer once you have written the entire message.
Only one writer can be open at a time, multiple calls will block until the previous writer is closed.
type DialOptions
deprecated
added in
v0.2.0
type DialOptions struct { // HTTPClient is used for the connection. // Its Transport must return writable bodies for WebSocket handshakes. // http.Transport does beginning with Go 1.12. HTTPClient *http.Client // HTTPHeader specifies the HTTP headers included in the handshake request. HTTPHeader http.Header // Host optionally overrides the Host HTTP header to send. If empty, the value // of URL.Host will be used. Host string // Subprotocols lists the WebSocket subprotocols to negotiate with the server. Subprotocols []string // CompressionMode controls the compression mode. // Defaults to CompressionDisabled. // // See docs on CompressionMode for details. CompressionMode CompressionMode // CompressionThreshold controls the minimum size of a message before compression is applied. // // Defaults to 512 bytes for CompressionNoContextTakeover and 128 bytes // for CompressionContextTakeover. CompressionThreshold int }
DialOptions represents Dial's options.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
type MessageType
deprecated
added in
v0.2.0
type MessageType int
MessageType represents the type of a WebSocket message. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-5.6
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
const ( // MessageText is for UTF-8 encoded text messages like JSON. MessageText MessageType = iota + 1 // MessageBinary is for binary messages like protobufs. MessageBinary )
MessageType constants.
func (MessageType) String
deprecated
added in
v0.2.0
func (i MessageType) String() string
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
type StatusCode
deprecated
type StatusCode int
StatusCode represents a WebSocket status code. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-7.4
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
const ( StatusNormalClosure StatusCode = 1000 StatusGoingAway StatusCode = 1001 StatusProtocolError StatusCode = 1002 StatusUnsupportedData StatusCode = 1003 // StatusNoStatusRcvd cannot be sent in a close message. // It is reserved for when a close message is received without // a status code. StatusNoStatusRcvd StatusCode = 1005 // StatusAbnormalClosure is exported for use only with Wasm. // In non Wasm Go, the returned error will indicate whether the // connection was closed abnormally. StatusAbnormalClosure StatusCode = 1006 StatusInvalidFramePayloadData StatusCode = 1007 StatusPolicyViolation StatusCode = 1008 StatusMessageTooBig StatusCode = 1009 StatusMandatoryExtension StatusCode = 1010 StatusInternalError StatusCode = 1011 StatusServiceRestart StatusCode = 1012 StatusTryAgainLater StatusCode = 1013 StatusBadGateway StatusCode = 1014 // StatusTLSHandshake is only exported for use with Wasm. // In non Wasm Go, the returned error will indicate whether there was // a TLS handshake failure. StatusTLSHandshake StatusCode = 1015 )
https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xhtml#close-code-number
These are only the status codes defined by the protocol.
You can define custom codes in the 3000-4999 range. The 3000-3999 range is reserved for use by libraries, frameworks and applications. The 4000-4999 range is reserved for private use.
func CloseStatus
deprecated
added in
v1.7.0
func CloseStatus(err error) StatusCode
CloseStatus is a convenience wrapper around Go 1.13's errors.As to grab the status code from a CloseError.
Deprecated: coder now maintains this library at https://github.com/coder/websocket.
-1 will be returned if the passed error is nil or not a CloseError.
Example ¶
package main import ( "context" "log" "time" "nhooyr.io/websocket" ) func main() { // Dials a server and then expects to be disconnected with status code // websocket.StatusNormalClosure. ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Minute) defer cancel() c, _, err := websocket.Dial(ctx, "ws:https://localhost:8080", nil) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer c.CloseNow() _, _, err = c.Reader(ctx) if websocket.CloseStatus(err) != websocket.StatusNormalClosure { log.Fatalf("expected to be disconnected with StatusNormalClosure but got: %v", err) } }
