How to handle websocket request simultaneously?

[gamelife1314]

I want to start a server that can handle http request and websocket request simultaneously by reacthttp.

Does anybody have any ideas to help me ?

Hi @gamelife1314, thank you for this excellent question!

This project does indeed support using Connection: upgrade to support any kind of (custom) protocol over HTTP. Example 32 shows how this can be used with a custom "chat" protocol, but there's nothing that prevents this from being used with WebSockets.

If you want a pure WebSocket server, Ratchet is a good choice. I'm not sure if there's any project that supports running a normal HTTP server along with a WebSocket server on the same port, but I recall several people working on this.

The closest I found find is https://gist.github.com/mbonneau/821096940a0f32091f6475c404697193 from #159 and https://github.com/voryx/WebSocketMiddleware from https://github.com/reactphp/http/wiki/Middleware. Maybe @mbonneau or @davidwdan can give some more input on this? 👍

I hope this helps 👍

I believe this has been answered, so I'm closing this for now. Please come back with more details if this problem persists and we can reopen this 👍

@gamelife1314 https://github.com/voryx/WebSocketMiddleware can be used in your middleware stack along with regular http requests.

See https://github.com/voryx/WebSocketMiddleware/blob/master/example/chat_ws_server.php for an example that serves both static content on http with a simple WebSocket chat server on the same port.

Also, https://github.com/thruway/middleware allows you to run the WAMP protocol as middleware (a pub/sub/rpc protocol that can run over WebSockets.
