All Implemented Interfaces:

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelInboundHandler

public class WebSocketClientProtocolHandler
extends io.netty.handler.codec.MessageToMessageDecoder<WebSocketFrame>

This handler does all the heavy lifting for you to run a websocket client. It takes care of websocket handshaking as well as processing of Ping, Pong frames. Text and Binary data frames are passed to the next handler in the pipeline (implemented by you) for processing. Also the close frame is passed to the next handler as you may want inspect it before close the connection if the handleCloseFrames is false, default is true. This implementation will establish the websocket connection once the connection to the remote server was complete. To know once a handshake was done you can intercept the ChannelInboundHandler.userEventTriggered(ChannelHandlerContext, Object) and check if the event was of type WebSocketClientProtocolHandler.ClientHandshakeStateEvent.HANDSHAKE_ISSUED or WebSocketClientProtocolHandler.ClientHandshakeStateEvent.HANDSHAKE_COMPLETE.

Constructor Detail

WebSocketClientProtocolHandler

public WebSocketClientProtocolHandler(URI webSocketURL,
                              WebSocketVersion version,
                              String subprotocol,
                              boolean allowExtensions,
                              HttpHeaders customHeaders,
                              int maxFramePayloadLength,
                              boolean handleCloseFrames,
                              boolean performMasking,
                              boolean allowMaskMismatch)

Base constructor

Parameters:

webSocketURL - URL for web socket communications. e.g "ws://myhost.com/mypath". Subsequent web socket frames will be sent to this URL.

version - Version of web socket specification to use to connect to the server

subprotocol - Sub protocol request sent to the server.

customHeaders - Map of custom headers to add to the client request

maxFramePayloadLength - Maximum length of a frame's payload

handleCloseFrames - true if close frames should not be forwarded and just close the channel

performMasking - Whether to mask all written websocket frames. This must be set to true in order to be fully compatible with the websocket specifications. Client applications that communicate with a non-standard server which doesn't require masking might set this to false to achieve a higher performance.

allowMaskMismatch - Allows to loosen the masking requirement on received frames. When this is set to false then also frames which are not masked properly according to the standard will still be accepted.
