Notice

DEAD.

Great thanks to lighty developpers.

What is this?

mod_websocket.c provides a WebSocket extension for lighttpd HTTP server ver 1.4.28-1.4.33(http://www.lighttpd.net/)

How does mod_websocket work?

  1. WebSocket Proxy.
    Only Transfer WebSocket handshake and frame. But ssl is terminated by mod_websocket.
    client <--- ssl ---> lighttpd - mod_websocket <--- tcp ---> your websocket server

  2. WebSocket-TCP Proxy.
    Please see these figures.

How can I use this?

First, clone code.

$ git clone --recursive git://github.com/nori0428/mod_websocket.git

and follow the instructions in INSTALL or read Wiki Page for Quick Start.

Characteristics

  1. Supports WebSocket Proxy and WebSocket-TCP Proxy.
    You can choose either WebSocket Proxy or WebSocket-TCP Proxy to every request URI.

  2. Supported protocols: hybi-00 and RFC-6455.
    See Can I use... for browser support.

  3. Automatic base64 {en, de}code on hybi-00 spec by setting "type" section "binary".
    (my answer of #19)
    A more detailed description has been described in the INSTALL and websocket.conf.sample.
