run script on client connect/disconnect

[András Kardos]

Is there a way to run a script on the server or call an URL when a client opens or closes a channel? I'd use that to update a live display of active users - of course through server push - on an admin display. Are disconncects actually detectable by the server immediately?

Thanks!

Hi András,

currently the closest option you have to this is to use the "events channel" .

You can subscribe to this channel with a script on your server, listening when a channel is created/destroyed and when someone subscribe/leave the channel and than execute the operations you need to update your live display.

To detect that some client disconnect the module take some time, specially under SSL connections.

On non SSL connections the nginx do a "peak" in the socket and if it fail it reports the user has gone.

Under SSL this peak isn't done.
In either cases the only way to be sure that a user has gone is try to write to the socket and receive an error.

So, set a ping message with a small interval is a good idea to decrease the time needed to detect that the user has gone.

I hope this can help in your project.
