WebSocket over TLS

See more WebSocket Examples

Establishing a WebSocket connection over TLS is exactly the same as for TCP, except for a few arguments passed to the Connect method. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Rest;
use Chilkat2\WebSocket;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// --------------------------------------------------
// A WebSocket connection begins life as an HTTP GET request containing a few special header fields,
// such as "Upgrade: websocket".

// Your application will use the Chilkat Rest class to send the initial HTTP GET.  This allows you
// to use the full capability of the Chilkat Rest class to customize the GET for any particular situation.
// For example:
//
//   - If custom HTTP request header fields must be added.
//   - If authentication is required, such as OAuth2, OAuth1, Basic HTTP Auth, etc.
//   - If HTTPS, SSH Tunneling, Proxies (HTTP or SOCKS), or other advanced connection or TLS features are required.
//

$rest = new Rest();
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// To use TLS, connect to the TLS port (typically 443) and tell the rest.Connect method
// that it's a TLS connection.
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
$bUseTls = true;
try {
    $rest->Connect('someserver.com', 443, $bUseTls, false);

    $ws = new WebSocket();

    // Tell the WebSocket to use this connection.
    $ws->UseConnection($rest);

    // Add the standard WebSocket open handshake headers that will be needed.
    // (This adds the required HTTP request headers to the rest object.)
    $ws->AddClientHeaders();

    // Add any additional headers that might be desired.
    // Two common WebSocketSpecific headers are "Sec-WebSocket-Protocol" and "Origin".
    $rest->AddHeader('Sec-WebSocket-Protocol', 'x-something');
    $rest->AddHeader('Origin', 'http://someserver.com');

    // Do the open handshake.
    $responseBody = $rest->FullRequestNoBody('GET', '/something');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// If successful, the HTTP response status code should be 101,
// and the response body will be empty. (If it failed, we'll have a look
// at the response body..)
$statusCode = $rest->ResponseStatusCode;
echo 'Response status code: ', $statusCode, "\n";

if ($statusCode != 101) {
    echo $responseBody, "\n";
    echo "-- Failed because of unexpected response status code.\n";
    exit;
}

// We have the expected 101 response, so let's now validate the
// contents of the response, such as the value sent by the server in the
// Sec-WebSocket-Accept header.
try {
    $ws->ValidateServerHandshake();
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

echo "WebSocket connection successful.\n";

// The application may now begin sending and receiving frames on the WebSocket connection.
// (At this point, we're done with the rest object...)
