Websocket cat

[John]

I am trying to get my head around using mojolicious as a websocket
client.  I have used it as a websocket server in various projects.   To
start I wanted to create a simple command line utility that connected to
a websocket server and printed the json it received.

I began with the documentation:

https://mojolicious.org/perldoc/Mojo/IOLoop/Stream/WebSocketClient

Due to my lack of understanding the basics a couple things confuse me.  
Where do I specify the remote server/port and how do I define $handle?  
My code is pretty much the example at that location but with "use
warnings/strict" added.    I haven't been able to get an understanding
based on my review of the docs.

It would be great to see an example as I expect others have done this
before.   Otherwise some pointers wold be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

That module doesn't actually exist anymore for quite some time. Use the guides to get started.

I’ve spent very little time with Mojo as a WS client, but I found the example in Mojo::UserAgent’s documentation to be enough to get me where I needed to go.

=====
$ua->websocket('ws+unix://%2Ftmp%2Fmyapp.sock/echo.json' => sub {
my ($ua, $tx) = @_;
say 'WebSocket handshake failed!' and return unless $tx->is_websocket;
$tx->on(json => sub {
my ($tx, $hash) = @_;
say "WebSocket message via JSON: $hash->{msg}";
$tx->finish;
});
$tx->send({json => {msg => 'Hello World!'}});
});
Mojo::IOLoop->start unless Mojo::IOLoop->is_running;
=====

^^ So, specify remote server and port in the wss:// URL.

Thanks for both your responses.  I will look at user agent.
