Unable to get websocket working

[Pouya Emami]

Hello,

I have an ape server running on ape-cml.uwaterloo.ca. When I run the check tool in the ape jsf, everything checks out for all transports except for 6 which is websockets. I have no idea how debug this as chrome is not throwing any errors in the console. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

You can see for yourself here: http://ape-cml.uwaterloo.ca/APE_JSF/Tools/Check/

Thank you all in advance

Hi Pouya,

Your ape server is bind on 443 in cleartext wuthout ssl layer (but I
don't think this is the real problem ),
perhaps only for test you can change the port (default 6969), or try
upgrade your server version Server 1.1.1 to 1.1.2-dev

Bye

:)

Hi Michele,

I went ahead and changed the port to 6969 like you asked and it seems to work in Firefox now but still no luck with Chrome. I am beginning to think that there is something I am not seeing here.

I have also tried to compile ape-server 1.1.2-dev from the git repo but I get the following error when I try to compile:

libape-spidermonkey.c:28:19: error: jsapi.h: No such file or directory

and after that, I get a whole stream of errors before the compiler tells me this:

make: *** [modules] Error 1

So if you know what I'm doing wrong, I'm more than willing to listen to your advice!

Ask me anything you need to know and thanks again for all your help.

Cheers

Hi Pouya,

your compile don't found the file : jsapi.h (
https://github.com/APE-Project/APE_Server/blob/master/deps/js/src/jsapi.h)

download the master @ https://github.com/APE-Project/APE_Server/zipball/master

unzip , check the permission's file and directory, and if your
enviroment is gnu/linux type:

chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

Bye :)

Hi Michele,

I tried that and I still get the same error, I have copied the master repo and I can see that the file is in the correct place. :S

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

[Pablo Tejada]

Try to check and debug your headers, and the handshake process. For example as you may know the websocket technology relies on HTTP 1.1, anything below that wont work. 

For example in my setup im unable to use websockets because all the front end requests are proxied through a nginx server, even the APE server. This might not be your case, just be aware of the headers you are getting from the requests and any errors from the browser.

Good Luck!

Hi Pablo,

Pardon my ignorance but exactly how to check the headers on the server? This is what I get from Chrome:

Request Header:

GET ws://1.ape-cml.uwaterloo.ca:6969/6/ HTTP/1.1 Origin: http://1.ape-cml.uwaterloo.ca:6969 Connection: Upgrade Host: 1.ape-cml.uwaterloo.ca:6969 Sec-WebSocket-Key: E6/ctNVBh10GB4g8CaO6+Q== Upgrade: websocket Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13

Response Header:

HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols Connection: Upgrade Upgrade: WebSocket Sec-WebSocket-Accept: OqObUlga0K5OieTfqpb1rWnkwe0=

If this is what you wanted me to check, I think everything is in check here.

Any more tricks up your sleeves? I really appreciate all the help!

Thanks again,

Pouya

[Pablo Tejada]

Yeah they look good alright, do you get any errors in the console? You know what point the framework stops working?

[Pouya Emami]

Well I sometimes get this error:

Unrecognized frame opcode: 4

And as far as I can tell, it stops at this line:

client.core.join(['leftScreen', 'centreScreen', 'rightScreen']);

Sorry, im out of ideas...

[Pouya Emami]

Okay well thanks for all your help :)

Thought I'd come back and let everyone know that I fixed it and to show you all how I did (those who care anyway).

I was having trouble because the version 1.1.1 wouldn't allow connections from the clients through websocket. I found this out by testing each step of the connection sequence.

I wanted to upgrade to 1.1.2-dev but for some reason, I would get this message when I tried to compile:

libape-spidermonkey.c:29:19: error: jsapi.h: No such file or directory

The answer to this problem was found here.

I basically ran sudo ./configure inside ./deps/js/src/ and found out that I was missing zip.

I installed that and ran make on ./deps/js/src/

Followed by make on ./modules/

And finally a make on ./

(These are all respective to the root of the source folder for APE)

Next I followed this guide here to do a proper upgrade from version 1.1.1

Hope this helps those who come across is and thank you again Pablo for all your help!

Cheers

Hi,

I am trying to setup a working sample with web sockets, but having
great difficulties.

This is mainly due to the lack of proper documentation or any sample
demo code.
I saw a link to a WebSockets demo in git, but it is not there any
more.

Can you please post some sample client/server code to show how to set
things up?

Thank you very much!

Ofer

Hi Ofer,

What stage of the installation process have you reached so far?

Hi,

I managed to setup everything and wrote a small test client that uses
web sockets against the latest APE from GIT.
The client connects to the web socket, sends a CONNECT message, but
gets a BAD_JSON reply from the server.

After few days of APE server debugging I figured that the new Chrome
(and Firefox) are using the latest WebSocket protocol and sending Sec-
WebSocket-Version=13 in the init message.
APE server doesn't have any knowledge of this version (13) and falls
back to version 06, which is parsing the message incorrectly.
I'm now in the process of adding code to APE to support version 13.

At this point I guess the APE project support does not exist any more.
This is after many attempts to contact the developers.

If this continues, APE will probably not be suitable for anyone who
wishes new features such as web sockets, broken MYSQL support and
other improvements.

We, as a service provider company are now evaluating if we can keep
APE in production or move to some other solution that will fit us
better.

Thanks

Well, the developers are definetly not dead. Last thing i heard they
were working hard on APE 2, which will be rebranded to Async Push
Engine. They have some early drafts repos in their personal github
accounts of the new server and the framework.

I'm even using the new js framework draft myself as the base of a
PubSub framework. They definetly not as active in community as must of
us would want then to be.

Just change the transport method to 6. Everything else is the same.

[oferbar]

Thanks for you response.

I didn't say the developers are dead :)

But there's no response from anyone from the APE team through email or
contact published on the web site.
We were interested in getting paid support for our production but
couldn't get anyone to respond.

It is very encouraging to hear that a new APE version is coming.
However, this fact must have been kept in secret, since I wasn't able
to find any clue to that, nor any roadmap for APE.

Plus, the fact that MySql support has been broken for over a year now,
and prevents us from doing any upgrade without major code rewrite on
the server side.

Thx

Here are a few old information links

- http://www.ape-project.org/wiki/index.php/Category:V2
- http://www.ape-project.org/wiki/index.php/Ideas

The repo https://github.com/paraboul/APE-Server-v2

And as for the MySQL issue, I think it is all a dependency issue since the latest binary release v1.1.1 works in my host's server stack. I believe they are running CentOS 6.
