Class WebSocketClientProtocolHandler

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ChannelHandler

    public class WebSocketClientProtocolHandler
    extends 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 ChannelHandler.channelInboundEvent(ChannelHandlerContext, Object) and check if the event was of type WebSocketHandshakeCompletionEvent.

        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 - When set to true, frames which are not masked properly according to the standard will still be accepted.
