WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:8000/' failed: Could not decode a text frame as UTF-8.

[André Gomes]

Hi!

I'm trying to send this message (image below) through websockets:

However, I'm getting this error on my browser:

WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:8000/' failed: Could not decode a text frame as UTF-8.

The error does not happen when I change play.p2.name to "Andre" (instead of "André").

So, that's my question: how can I send non-ascii characters through websockets using totaljs?

Thanks for any help!

Hi André,

which version of total.js do you use? Do you have in the route a 'json' flag?

Can you write a small example with the problem (client-side + server-side)?

I will resolve / fix this problem.

Send me it: petersirka(at)gmail(dot)com

Thanks.

I'm using total.js @ 1.4.0

This is my route:

exports.install = function(framework, name) {
 framework.websocket('/', socket_handler, ['json']);
};

I'll try to create a minimal app as soon as possible.

Thanks for the help.

I found a problem. I disabled auto-encoding messages in v1.4.0.

Add into the your config:

default-websocket-encodedecode : true

And on client-side:

 var mycallback = function(event) {
    console.log(decodeURIComponent(event.data));
 };

Thanks :-)
