How to hit the WebSocket Endpoint?
curl, javascript, websocket
Solution
If you mean literally to test the implementation of websockets, I found Autobahn's test suite to be very useful: http://autobahn.ws/
If you just want to noodle with a websocket I would recommend using the developer tools in a browser like chrome to make a connection and send/recv data:
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://127.0.0.1:8080/76f48a44-0af8-444c-ba97-3f1ed34afc91/tweets");
ws.onclose = function() { // thing to do on close
};
ws.onerror = function() { // thing to do on error
};
ws.onmessage = function() { // thing to do on message
};
ws.onopen = function() { // thing to do on open
};
ws.send("Hello World");
Problem
I see that there is websocket endpoint which works out fins with Java tests. In logs I see ``` Connecting to: ws://127.0.0.1:8080/76f48a44-0af8-444c-ba97-3f1ed34afc91/tweets ``` Just like any other `REST` API I would like to hit it via browser or curl, but when I do that I see ``` ➜ tweetstream git:(master) ✗ curl ws://127.0.0.1:8080/b9b90525-4cd4-43de-b893-7ef107ad06c2/tweets curl: (1) Protocol ws not supported or disabled in libcurl ``` and ``` ➜ tweetstream git:(master) ✗ curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/b9b90525-4cd4-43de-b893-7ef107ad06c2/tweets <html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>Not Found</body></html>% ``` Is there a way to test websocket APIs with browser/curl?
