- Add initial IETF-07 (HyBi-07) protocol version support. This version
still uses base64 encoding since the API for binary support is not
yet finalized.
- Move socket send and recieve functions into the WebSocketServer
class instead of having the sub-class do this. This simplifies
sub-classes somewhat. The send_frame routine now returns the number
of frames that were unable to be sent. If this value is non-zero
then the sub-class should call again when the socket is ready until
the pending frames count is 0.
- Do traffic reporting in the main class instead.
- When the client is HyBi style (i.e. IETF-07) then use the
sub-protocol header to select whether to do base64 encoding or
simply send the frame data raw (binary). Update include/websock.js
to send a 'base64' protocol selector. Once the API support binary,
then the client will need to detect this and set the protocol to
'binary'.
Primary change is removal of FABridge interface.
Seems to improve overall latency by perhaps 10%. Also, the slowdown
over time in Opera is about half as bad (but still there).
Convert latency test to use include/websock.js instead of direct
WebSockets handling.
Add support for configuring the maximum bufferedAmount. This allows us
to configure it high enough to get around a bug in bufferedAmount
reporting in Opera.
Add some latency test results for Opera 11 with WebSockets turned on.
- Only delay sending data if bufferedAmount is greater than 1000.
This seems to match the intention of the spec better. bufferedAmount
does not mean that we can't send, it's just an indication that the
network is becoming saturated. But Opera 11 native WebSockets seems to
have a bug that bufferedAmount isn't set back to zero correctly so
- websock.send returns true/false.
If all send data was flushed from the send queue then return true,
otherwise false. This doesn't mean the data won't be sent, just that
it wasn't sent this time and is queued.
The Websock object from websock.js is similar to the standard
WebSocket object but Websock enables communication with raw TCP
sockets (i.e. the binary stream) via websockify. This is accomplished
by base64 encoding the data stream between Websock and websockify.
Websock has built-in receive queue buffering; the message event
does not contain actual data but is simply a notification that
there is new data available. Several rQ* methods are available to
read binary data off of the receive queue.
