Using Python to communicate with web socket using JSON
If you look closely at what what's sent through the browser, notice that it's:
["{\"msg\":\"connect\"}"]This looks an awful lot like an array of JSON strings. Indeed, if you try to replicate it:
ws.send(json.dumps([json.dumps({'msg': 'connect', 'version': '1', 'support': ['1', 'pre2', 'pre1']})]))You'll see that you get connected. Here's my entire code:
import jsonimport pprintimport websocketfrom websocket import create_connectionwebsocket.enableTrace(True)ws = create_connection('ws://gitxiv.com/sockjs/212/2aczpiim/websocket')result = ws.recv()print('Result: {}'.format(result))result = ws.recv()print('Result: {}'.format(result))ws.send(json.dumps([json.dumps({'msg': 'connect', 'version': '1', 'support': ['1', 'pre2', 'pre1']})]))result = ws.recv()print('Result: {}'.format(result))
