ws2http

JSON-RPC 2.0 WebSocket to HTTP proxy.

Requirements

• Golang 1.5+

Usage

Usage of ./ws2http:
  -c int
        max parallel http requests per host (default 10)
  -h string
        websocket listen address (default "localhost:8090")
  -headers string
        allow set custom http headers to rpc backend via comma (default "Authorization")
  -route value
        mapping from websocket endpoint to http endpoint, like /rpc:http://localhost/rpc (default [])
  -timeout int
        timeout in seconds for http requests (default 20)
  -trace
        enable trace output
  -verbose
        enable debug output

Features

• Proxies all data from WS to HTTP endpoint
• Timeout for http requests (default 20)
• Concurrent http requests to host by session (default 10)
• Trace logs (requests/responses)
• Encapsulated http backend errors to JSON-RPC errors (returns -1 * httpStatusCode as error code)
• Supports multiple endpoints
• Supports /metrics endpoint as Prometheus handler
• Supports /debug/conns endpoint as remote connection tracer

Goals

• shared ws endpoint with internal routing with prefix for methods
• better interface for /debug/conns
• support batch requests for metrics and routing
• rewrite HttpForwarder.Handler into smaller parts
• expand batch requests

How to run

go get github.com/semrush/ws2http
$GOPATH/bin/ws2http -verbose -route /rpc:http://localhost/rpc/

Examples

var w = new WebSocket("ws://localhost/rpc"); w.onmessage = function(data) { console.log(data); };
w.send('SET Authorization authValue')
w.send('{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Ping","id":"1"}')
