WebSocketExtensions DotNetCore

Defines WebSocket extensions to microsoft WebSocket implementation to bring it in line with something like WebSocketSharp

This package attempts to be like WebSocketSharp for DotNetCore

• It is continuously a work in progress
• It is used in heavy-use production
• It is not a perfect drop in replacement
  • Uses Async Api + Tasks
  • Uses Microsoft's own implemenation of WebSocket and HttpServer for upgrade
• It is available via nuget package websocketextensions
• See IntegrationTests for usage examples: [https://github.com/maxfridbe/websocketextensions/blob/master/src/WebSocketExtensions.Tests/IntegrationTests_Kestrel.cs]

Why not use WebSocketSharp

• They do not seem to have a dotnetcore version
  • They Seem to be selling a version that is compatible in UnityStore (not open source)
• People have taken it and forked it and fixed 80% of issues with it
  • The forks have poor drop-in compatiblity
  • Most dont work with DotNetCore
  • Questionable Integration Tests
  • Most not touched in forever

This Nuget Package (websocketextensions) defines

• KestrelWebSocketServer (for kestrel)
• HttpListenerWebSocketServer [Obsolete] (for http.sys (linux + windows) for now)
• WebListenerWebSocketServer [Obsolete] (for windows http.sys)
• WebSocketClient
• Extension Methods to WebSocket which allow for things like SendStream

Roadmap

• Ability to use new Pipe feature to stream bytes directly to handler
• More Exahstive unit tests
