|
||
### Logs Analysis | ||
|
||
Analyze Auth0 logs to identify and resolve issues. Use log data to trace the flow of authentication and authorization processes. | ||
|
||
## API Reference | ||
|
||
### Management API | ||
|
||

# WebSocket Documentation | ||
|
||
## Overview | ||
|
||
WebSocket is a communication protocol that provides full-duplex communication channels over a single, long-lived connection. Unlike traditional request-response mechanisms like HTTP, WebSocket enables real-time bidirectional communication between clients and servers. | ||

|
||
## Getting Started | ||
|
||
### Establishing a WebSocket Connection | ||
|
||
To initiate a WebSocket connection, clients send a WebSocket handshake request, and servers respond with an acceptance or rejection. Once established, the connection remains open for further communication. | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
// JavaScript example | ||
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://example.com/socket'); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### WebSocket URL | ||
|
||
The WebSocket URL consists of the WebSocket scheme (`ws` or `wss` for secure), the host, and optional path. For example: | ||
- `ws://example.com/socket` | ||
- `wss://secure.example.com/chat` | ||
|
||
## Communication Protocol | ||
|
||
### WebSocket Handshake | ||
|
||
During the WebSocket handshake, the client sends an HTTP request, and the server responds with an HTTP 101 status code, indicating a successful upgrade to WebSocket. | ||
|
||
### Data Frames | ||
|
||
WebSocket communication occurs through data frames. Frames can be text, binary, or control frames for various purposes. | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
// Sending a message | ||
socket.send('Hello, WebSocket!'); | ||
|
||
// Handling incoming messages | ||
socket.onmessage = (event) => { | ||
const message = event.data; | ||
console.log('Received:', message); | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Security Considerations | ||
|
||
### Secure WebSocket (WSS) | ||
|
||
For secure communication, use the `wss` scheme. This encrypts the data exchanged between the client and server. | ||
|
||
### Authentication | ||
|
||
Implement proper authentication mechanisms to secure your WebSocket connections. Authenticate users or devices based on your application's requirements. | ||
|
||
## Advanced Features | ||
|
||
### Subprotocols | ||
|
||
WebSocket allows the use of subprotocols to define a specific communication protocol between the client and server. | ||
|
||
### Ping/Pong Frames | ||
|
||
Ping and pong frames can be used to check the health of the WebSocket connection and detect potential issues. | ||
|
||
## Client and Server Implementations | ||
|
||
### JavaScript (Client) | ||
|
||
For JavaScript clients, use the native `WebSocket` API in web browsers. | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://example.com/socket'); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Node.js (Server) | ||
|
||
In Node.js, use libraries like `ws` for WebSocket server implementation. | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
const WebSocket = require('ws'); | ||
const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 8080 }); | ||
|
||
wss.on('connection', (socket) => { | ||
console.log('Client connected'); | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Troubleshooting | ||
|
||
### Common Issues | ||
|
||
- Ensure correct WebSocket URL. | ||
- Check for proper server implementation. | ||
- Verify WebSocket handshake responses. | ||
|
||
### Handling Errors | ||
|
||
Handle errors gracefully by listening to the WebSocket `onerror` event. | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
socket.onerror = (error) => { | ||
console.error('WebSocket Error:', error); | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This documentation provides a basic understanding of WebSocket. Refer to the [WebSocket RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455) for detailed specifications. | ||
