WS

A WebSocket command line tool (mostly for testing).

Type to stdin to send along the WebSocket. WebSocket responses will be printed to stdout.

Install

If you have Go installed just run:

go get github.com/yhat/ws

If you're on OS X use brew to install (no go required).

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yhat/ws/master/ws.rb

Otherwise direct downloads are available through the releases page.

Usage

Given an example server.

varWebSocketServer=require('ws').Server,wss=newWebSocketServer({port: 5000});wss.on('connection',function(ws){ws.on('message',function(message){ws.send(message)ws.send("OVER")});});

Let's make sure it's working with ws.

$ ws ws://127.0.0.1:5000/
