how to send() string or binary?

[jimbo...@gmail.com]

This is probably really silly, and I've looked at the source, but how do I send strings and binaries?

Maybe my question should be: how do I form message_ptrs?

Sorry, for clarity's of my lack of skill sake: I'm doing (building on top of broadcast server)

send(*it,std::string)

and it won't compile.

The various send methods take an opcode as a parameter. websocketpp::frame::opcode::text will send the data as a UTF8 string message and websocketpp::frame::opcode::binary will send as raw binary. All other opcodes are reserved by RFC6455 for future use. There are overloads for both std::string, void *. You can send either as text or binary. These methods will create a message buffer / message_ptr and immediately add it to the outgoing message queue.

There is an experimental api for manually generating raw message buffers and sending them directly. It is not fully complete yet and isn't ready for production use.

OK, I think I get it now.

Now that I know what to look for, I think I found an example in telemetry server.

Thank-you!

     char ch[10];

    for(int i=0;i<10;i++)

    ch[i]=65+i;

    ch[8]=0;

    //myMsg.set_opcode(websocketpp::frame::opcode::binary);//websocketpp::frame::opcode::TEXT

    int len=sizeof(ch);

    m_server.send(hdl,ch,len,websocketpp::frame::opcode::binary);

It tests okay.

I want to put message to queue and start a thread to send them to clients.  My problem is I don't know how to construct a message! What i know is to send a binary buffer directly, but i want to send them through message_ptr.
