Are websockets blocked?

[eddyem]

I try to work with websockets but found that if one websocket is opened, I can't open another (in another tab, another browser or any other PC).
How can I fix this bug for opening websockets to given port in any quantity?

For mode ONION_ONE only one connection can be opened. Try with O_THREADED or O_DETACH_LISTEN at onion_new.

I run it with O_THREADED:

static void *runWS(_U_ void *data){
    ow = onion_new(O_THREADED);
    if(!(onion_flags(ow) & O_SSL_AVAILABLE)){
        ONION_ERROR("SSL support is not available");
        signals(1);
    }
    int error = onion_set_certificate(ow, O_SSL_CERTIFICATE_KEY, G.certfile, G.keyfile);
    if(error){
        ONION_ERROR("Can't set certificate and key files (%s, %s)", G.certfile, G.keyfile);
        signals(1);
    }
    onion_set_port(ow, G.wsport);
    onion_url *url = onion_root_url(ow);
    onion_url_add(url, "", websocket_run);
    DBG("Listen websocket");
    error = onion_listen(ow);
    if(error) ONION_ERROR("Can't create WEBSOCKET server: %s", strerror(errno));
    onion_free(ow);
    return NULL;
}

But when one websocket is opened, no other connections could be done. And this function don't run:

onion_connection_status websocket_run(_U_ void *data, onion_request *req, onion_response *res){
    FNAME();
    onion_websocket *ws = onion_websocket_new(req, res);
    if (!ws){
        red("OCS_PROCESSED");
        DBG("Processed");
        return OCS_PROCESSED;
    }
    DBG("WS ready");
    const char *host = onion_request_get_client_description(req);
    const char *UA = onion_request_get_header(req, "User-Agent");
    green("Got WS connection from %s (UA: %s)\n", host, UA);
    WSdata *wsdata = calloc(1, sizeof(WSdata));
    wsdata->flags = WS_FLAG_NOTAUTHORIZED;
    wsdata->IPhash = MurmurOAAT64(host);
    wsdata->UAhash = MurmurOAAT64(UA);
    onion_websocket_set_userdata(ws, (void*)wsdata, free);
    onion_websocket_set_callback(ws, websocket_cont);
    return OCS_WEBSOCKET;
}

I have tried an websocket example from libonion. And it don't work too! As only I open one connection, I can't open another.
What's the right way to work with websockets in libonion? I need at least 10-20 simultaneous connections.

Hi, sorry to hear. Websockets support was not fully developed and suffer from problems. It should work with several threads, but it blocks the threads. A full rewrite of websockets would be needed, as more testing, but currently I have no time to do it, and it does not look like i will have it. I would not recommend onion for a websocket application. Only for very small apps. As always everybody is welcome to help, and patches are more than welcome. Regards, David.

Hello eddyem,

I've attached my adaption of the websocket example for multiple clients. It uses
onion threaded
o = onion_new(O_THREADED|O_NO_SIGTERM|O_DETACH_LISTEN);

and then pushs periodical test strings data to clients.

Edit: Upload better version.

I found a problem: websockets didn't work for several clients due to gentoo's ebuild of libonion. When I use onion from git, it works, but with segfaults when client transmit some data.
Also there's a problem with such little active clients (8 by default in libonion). This number should be at least several thousands!
