wss via roStreamSocket

Hi,

I am trying to use "wss" via roStreamSocket and nothing works for me

function listenSocket()
    messagePort = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
    sendAddress = CreateObject("roSocketAddress")
    sendAddress.setHostName("adress.com") 'wss://adress.com
    sendAddress.setPort(443)

    m._socket = CreateObject("roStreamSocket")
    m._socket.setMessagePort(messagePort)
    m._socket.notifyReadable(true)
    m._socket.notifyWritable(true)
    m._socket.notifyException(true)
    m._socket.setSendToAddress(sendAddress)
    m._socket.setKeepAlive(true)

    buffer = CreateObject("roByteArray")
    buffer[1024] = 0

    localStatus = m._socket.sendStr("subscription")

    while True
        event = wait(0, messagePort)

        if type(event) = "roSocketEvent"

            if event.getSocketID() = m._socket.getID() and m._socket.isReadable()
                received = m._socket.receive(buffer, 0, 1024)

                if received <> -1
                    print "WebSocket received data "
                end if

            end if

        end if

    end while
end function

localStatus = -1 for me

received = -1 for me

wss://adress.com - it is a fake address I have a real one

what am I doing wrong?

Re: wss via roStreamSocket

The roStreamSocket needs to have a Connect call made on it to start.

Re: wss via roStreamSocket

Can you confirm that roStreamSocket supports WSS?

Re: wss via roStreamSocket

roStreamSocket is plain TCP/IP only.  It doesn't know anything about WebSockets.

I believe someone mentioned before some open source BrightScript code that implements a WebSocket class.  Maybe you could look into that, but I haven't looked at it myself.
