WebSocketExtensions DotNetCore

Defines WebSocket extensions to microsoft WebSocket implementation to bring it in line with something like WebSocketSharp

This package attempts to be like WebSocketSharp for DotNetCore

  • It is still a work in progress
  • It is not a perfect drop in replacement
    • Uses Async Api + Tasks
    • Uses Microsoft's own implemenation of WebSocket and HttpServer for upgrade
  • It is available via nuget package websocketextensions
  • See IntegrationTests for usage examples: [https://github.com/maxfridbe/websocketextensions/blob/master/src/WebSocketExtensions.Tests/IntegrationTests.cs]

Why not use WebSocketSharp

  • They do not seem to have a dotnetcore version
    • They Seem to be selling a version that is compatible in UnityStore (not open source)
  • People have taken it and forked it and fixed 80% of issues with it
    • The forks have poor drop-in compatiblity
    • Most dont work with DotNetCore
    • Questionable Integration Tests
    • Most not touched in forever

This Nuget Package (websocketextensions) defines

  • WebSocketServer
  • WebSocketClient
  • Extension Methods to WebSocket which allow for things like SendStream

Roadmap

  • Ability to use new Pipe feature to stream bytes directly to handler
  • More Exahstive unit tests
