I'm very new to Socket protocol and I'm sure the problem comes from me knowing almost nothing about this. But basically I have a socket on port 5000 on my server and I need to have an angularjs code to listen to this socket. The socket on the server can read whatever I send from another computer (client). But for some reason the angular code can't listen/connect to the socket. Here's what I have right now:
index.html
<html ng-app="MyAwesomeApp">
<head>
<script src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/ng-websocket/ng-websocket.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="cnt">
</body>
</html>
and here's the angularjs code:
app.js
var app = angular.module('MyAwesomeApp', ['ngWebsocket']);
app.controller('cnt', function ($websocket) {
var ws = $websocket.$new('ws://localhost:5000');
ws.$on('$open', function () {
ws.$emit('hello', 'world'); // it sends the event 'hello' with data 'world'
})
.$on('test', function (message) { // it listents for 'incoming event'
console.log('something incoming from the server: ' + message);
});
});
and here's the python code that I have for server socket:
#server example
import socket
serversocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
serversocket.bind(('localhost', 5000))
serversocket.listen(1) # become a server socket, maximum 5 connections
# print "hello"
while True:
connection, address = serversocket.accept()
print address
while True:
buf = connection.recv(16)
if len(buf) > 0:
connection.sendall(buf)
print buf
# break
Most of the angularjs code comes from https://coderwall.com/p/uhqeqg/html5-websocket-with-angularjs
These are the errors that I get in Chrome
ng-websocket.js:122 WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:5000/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
and in Firefox:
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost:5000/.
What you are trying to do is not possible. At least not in a way you want to do it.
WebSockets is an application layer protocol, much like HTTP protocol is. Pay attention at
wspart ofws://localhost:5000.On the other side you are using plain BSD sockets. This is just a raw socket for communication between two parties. It needs an to 'have an idea' about what the other side (AngularJS) is 'speaking', i.e. needs to communicate using same protocol. In BSD sockets case it inherently doesn't.
That is why you get:
To be able to do this, you will need some asynchronous programming framework with WebSockets protocol built on top of it. One suggestion is Autobahn.
