Ajax, WebSocket, Unix socket. Any implementation on neko?

[Horsetopus]

Hi,

So, I'm working on a video conference solution.

I'm using the very interesting Janus Gateway, which handles a lot for sharing webcams, video streams and such through WebRTC.

But Janus handles very little in therms of user management. Basically it make its API available to anybody with the right links, and any viewer will have the links but I don't want every viewers to have the rights to broadcast.

So for going deeper and locking a bit the security, I have to set my application as a proxy for every request.

My server is running on the Neko VM and everything works fine, but to communicate with Janus, I need to use one of the following:

Ajax
Websocket

Unix sockets.

And I couldn't find anything...

Of course some are availlable on the js package, but what about neko?

Can I establish a websocket from neko?

Can I make a XMLHttpRequest?

Can I use Unix sockets?

I'm not even sure Websocket can be established from anything else than a browser.

But what about sending an XMLHttpRequest from neko?

And what about Unix sockets? sys.net.socket seems to work only with host/port parameters.

Any input is welcome.

Thanks.

Sorry, I will up this a bit, because I have no clue what to do if none of these works...

Or actually, I do, and it bothers me quite a bit... ( either tap into the janus source code, or make a 3rd application just to channel the messages. Who would want that? ).

sys.net.Socket should be able to implement any protocol. As a matter of fact, this websocket library (https://bitbucket.org/yar3333/haxe-websocket) uses sys.net.Socket to implement the websocket protocol. I've used that library for making a websocket server on neko, though I haven't tried using that as a websocket client (in neko).

I also use this websocket library, and on the server side it works like a charm.

But I am not sure this is possible to use as a client.

I guess I can try to write to the library writer, though...

Thank you for your input.

Have a look at the hxnet project:https://github.com/MattTuttle/hxnet

It implements the websocket protocol over sys.net.sockets.

Thank you Bruno, I'll keep in mind in case I 

But I managed with haxe-websocket, after contacting the author.

outgoingWebSocket = WebSocket.connect( "localhost", port, "localhost", "https://localhost", "randomly_generated_key" );

I attached a running sample for those who would be interested, where I listen to incoming websocket and for each of them create an outcoming websocket.

Then for every incoming message, in both ways, if forward it to it's associated websocket.

The goal of course is to intercept any non-allowed message to go through.
