- Use array module for unmasking HyBi when no numpy module is
available.
- Detect client close properly when using python 3.
- Print request URL path is specified.
- --run-once will exit after handling a single WebSocket connection
(but not ater flash policy or normal web requests).
- --timeout TIME will stop listening for new connections after exit
after TIME seconds (the master process shuts down). Existing
WebSocket connections will continue but once all connections are
closed all processes will terminate.
Use rsplit(':', 1) instead of rpartition(':') in port argument
processing.
python2.4 may or may not work with HyBi which requires the numpy and
ctypes modules.
WebSocketServer.socket() is a static method takes a host and port and
an optional connect parameter. If connect is not set then it returns
a socket listening on host and port. If connect is set then
a connection will be made host and port and the socket returned. This
has IPv6 support like the addrinfo method it replaces.
Also, prefer IPv4 resolutions if they are in the list. This can be
overriden to prefer IPv6 resolutions for the same host using the
optional prefer_ipv6 parameter.
- fix addrinfo to accept empty host as localhost
- use correct host variable in addrinfo error message
- accept HyBi 7, 8 and 9. No difference for now.
- send close buffer correctly.
WebSocketServer(..., record='FILE_PREFIX')
The reocrd parameter will turn on recording of all messages sent
to and from the client. The record parameter is a file prefix. The
full file-name will be the prefix with an extension '.HANDLER_ID'
based on the handler ID.
Recording required some restructing of the encode and decode function
to return more information so that the recording functions can record
just the payload data and ignore the WebSockets framing/headers.
Caveats:
- Not all messages recorded as sent to the client were necessarily
received by the client. For example, if several messages are queued
for the client, but the connection is shutdown before the messages
are actually sent, these queued messages will still appear in the
recording.
- If the server is also handling HTTP requests then the handler ID
extensions for the recorded files will be monotonic but not
contiguous because only WebSocket connections are recorded, not HTTP
requests.
Ticket #2: https://github.com/kanaka/websockify/issues/2 - win32
support. The 'resource' module is not available under Windows. We only
use it for daemonizing so make it optional and disable daemonizing
support on Windows for now.
Also, refactor how the optional imports to turn them into data instead
of code and iterate through them.
Add early warnings to indicate when modules are missing and
functionality is disabled.
