Question on event names in gevent-socketio

[Gareth Gale]

Hi,

I've just started using gevent-socketio - very nice.

I'm seeing an error however when using certain strings for event names - the error being raised is "unallowed_event_name".

Looking on the web, I see certain characters are not permitted. For example, https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/abourget/gevent-socketio/symbols/python/socketio/namespace/BaseNamespace/error contains this section :-

if not allowed_event_name_regex.match(name):
            self.error("unallowed_event_name",
                       "name must only contains alpha numerical characters")

The error is caused when my client uses something like this :-

socket.emit('badly-named-event', $('#message').val());

I think it's the hyphen characters (-). Is there a list of illegal characters somewhere I can reference ?

Thanks in advance !

You have that allowed_event_name_regex in namespace.py:

allowed_event_name_regex = re.compile(r'^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_ ]*$')

So indeed, hyphens aren't allowed. Spaces are allowed, and are later translated to '_'.
