tiws's Issues

Description of changes in socket.io and now.js

First of all, great stuff! It works flawlessly and finally allows me to drop the webview! (I fired events between nowjs in the webview and the "native" js.)

Could you make a description of what you changed in socket.io and now.js so it would be possible to update them or maintain the project if you ever decide to abandon it?

Compatibility Socket.io 1.0

There is a way to make this module compatible with the new version socket io 1.0?

HttpResponseException is deprecated in Android 6

org.apache.http.* was moved out of android.jar and it's now in optional/org.apache.http.legacy.jar
Time to move to okhttp?

See: https://github.com/codebutler/android-websockets/pull/29/files

Titanium SDK 7.0.x

The latest distribution version 2.0 for Android doesn't appear to work with Titanium SDK 7.0.x.

When will there be an updated version?

Thanks

Added 1000+ Semi Colons to tiws Examples

@omorandi I added your module to my Titanium IDE today and received warnings about missing semi colons.

I didn't try to run my app before I removed the warnings so I'm not sure if it would have worked without removing the warnings. I didn't realise when I started just how many warnings there were. Turned out to be over 1000. I can probably let you have the updated files if you need them.

My main reason for posting is more of a question than an issue.

Could you please explain the difference between using tiws with "plain" websockets and socket.io / now.js?

Does this module work with Android?

Does anyone have this module working with Android and the latest version of Titanium?

I have spent hours trying to get it to work but no joy.

If you are running this module with Titanium could you please advise how you added the module and any other tweaks you made, thanks.

wss:// not works - Android

tiws seems not connect when using wss://
It fires the ''close'' event and the 'ev' object is this:
{"type":"close","source":{"apiName":"Ti.Proxy","bubbleParent":true,"_events":{"open":{},"close":{},"error":{},"message":{}}},"reason":"SSL","code":0,"bubbles":false,"cancelBubble":false}

OS: Android
Titanium SDK: 8.2.1.GA

On ios production compile app crashes

socket.io is crashing on ios in a production enviroment. When compiling in developmetn it works perfectly, on the otherhand, using both distribution to app store or using ad hoc app, it is returning

Application received error: Parse error at socket.io.js (line 60)
: [ERROR] Application received error: Module "./lib/socket.io" failed to leave a valid exports object at app.js (line 0)

now so far we havent manged to identify the location of this parse error.

wss:// ssl support

Hi @omorandi,

We have an issue when we use "wss://" with raw createWS() in iOS.
Websocket doesn't connect to server.
If we use "ws://", then everything looks fine.
Are there any known issue with it?

Thanks!

HTTP Error (java.io.IOException): 400 : Bad Request when connecting to socket.io

Using the latest 2.0.0 module for Android.
Titanium SDK 6.1.0 GA.
Latest socket.io implementation on server
JDK version jdk1.8.0_131

Below is the code

var uri='http://ip:3000';

var io = require('socket.io'),
socket = io.connect(uri);

socket.on('connect', function () {
Ti.API.log('connected!');
});

Below is the error

TiHTTPClient: (TiHttpClient-133) [45,45] HTTP Error (java.io.IOException): 400 : Bad Request
[ERROR] : TiHTTPClient: java.io.IOException: 400 : Bad Request
[ERROR] : TiHTTPClient: at ti.modules.titanium.network.TiHTTPClient$ClientRunnable.run(TiHTTPClient.java:1266)
[ERROR] : TiHTTPClient: at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818)

Any solution for it would be really appreciated.

iOS module to 64-bit

As you may know, all iOS Apps that will be released after February 1st, 2015 should be 64-bit. Would it be possible to update this Module to 64-bit ?

iOS - crashing of app after connect

Hi,

on android the module works fine, but on iOS the app crashes. I have tried with socketio.js from example and the newer from this "forum".
this is log from adroid client:

debug: client authorized
info: handshake authorized crqMwdAhZnSJ_AVsPKBd
debug: setting request GET /socket.io/1/websocket/crqMwdAhZnSJ_AVsPKBd
debug: client authorized for 
debug: websocket writing 1::

and this from iOS:

debug: client authorized
info: handshake authorized lTC9by6zi_2KS25SPKBc
debug: websocket writing 2::

you can see, the line 'bug: setting request GET /socket.io/1/websocket/crqMwdAhZnSJ_AVsPKBd' is missing.

I have used the binary from git and I recompiled againtst 3.2.3.GA. All the same issue.

No https connection with socket.io

I'm using http connection and all works fine. Now on server have activated https on socket but in the app it don't works. I don't receive any error of connection and I don't understand the problem.

`
io.connect(myHttpsUrl, {

'reconnection' : true,
'reconnectionDelay' : 500,
transports : ["websocket"]
});
`

I tried with param secure : true too. Can you help me?

Integrate the autobahn ws test suite

See http://autobahn.ws/testsuite/index.html

Not possible to get current state

It would be very handy to get the current connection state.

IE: I'd like to check if we're in a connected state before calling ws.close() -- this way I won't have hook.error() pop if I close a closed connection.

Update WebSocketClient.java

There has been an update already some time ago:

codebutler/android-websockets@6c7c60d

Can not connect to node server

Hello,
I have been trying to use socket.io to connect to a node server running on a secure port using wss or ws. I have not had much luck in the past couple of days. I need to send a message to the node server using socket.io. Here is my code (I am using net.iamyellow.tiws):

VOOMZI_WS = 'wss://my_ip_address:9443';
var io = require('socket.io');
var socket = io.connect(Alloy.Globals.VOOMZI_WS, {
'transports' : ['websocket']
});
socket.on('connect', function() {
console.log('connected');
});
socket.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('disconnected: ' + JSON.stringify(e));
});
The end result is always the same "disconnected: 'The network connection was lost.'" I am using a self-signed certificate, BTW.

Can someone tell me why is this happening?

Greatly appreciate any help here.

Update SocketRocket

There have been quite some updates over the last 2 years:

https://github.com/square/SocketRocket/commits/master

add support for custom request headers

i need to open a websocket with an 'If-Modified-Since' request header so the backend knows it doesn't have to nuke my client with outdated data. any plans to implement this?

Still active?

Hello!

I just wanted to check in and see if this repository is still actively being maintained.

Thanks!

Support for sdk 8.x

Is it possible to get an update for Ti SDL 8.x ?
I have an clean project where I wanted to add this module, but the app keeps crashing during build. If I remove the ref to the module from tiapp.xml then everything is wokring. "Well besidde the module :) "

Error that shows up in console is :

[ERROR] �� �** BUILD FAILED ** [ERROR] �� �The following build commands failed: [ERROR] �� � Ld /Users/lukic/Desktop/Lukic/Apps/Test/build/iphone/build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Test.app/Test normal x86_64 [ERROR] �� �(1 failure) Build failed. Process exited with code 1.

I have make new version of socket.io-client on Ti for socket.io pre4

Gist below:

[ERROR](GITTIO) [email protected]:ios not found

I have a error on gittio:

[email protected]:ios not found

Can someone help me?

Minimal Ti SDK

I'd make it 3.4.1 to be sure it will work with android 5. Just a thought :)

Headers

If I need to pass in headers at the same time as the ws information is there a way to do that? I can do it in this lib for nodejs https://github.com/websockets/ws this way:

var url = 'ws://' + auth + '@' + host + '/rest/subscribe';

var ws = new WebSocket(url, 'ISYSUB', {
    origin: 'blah',
    protocolVersion: 13
});

ws.on('message', function message(data, flags) {
    console.log(data);
  ;

but I need to do it for a titanium app.

websockets idea

Many users use socket.io or engine.io or just websockets (and there are more).
To tackle this problem and make our programs future proof I use this:
https://github.com/primus/primus

That is a global node.js server (and client) and you can add your own socket.

Then I thought how can I connect to my primus node.js server using android and ios using one framework (titanium) using websockets. I can't..

But what I can do is using Xcode to connect to primus using this:
https://github.com/daltoniam/Starscream/blob/master/WebSocket.swift with the websockets transport
and this uri: wss://hostname:8091/primus/?ns=e98f6d3a69e800563fff46a30997889075f2ddf8

In other words, could you check if its possible to connect to a simple primus server ?
using transport: websocket, socket.io, or engine.io
Just a simple connection , sending, receiving is enough.

After that, the users can create a primus server, choose a transport and use ios or android ! :)

Crash on app resume

I'm getting an app crash when the app is resumed. Wasn't getting this before I added the module. I'm using the socket.io implementation of the module (v0.9.10). The error on SRWebSocket.m:591 makes me believe that its this module causing the issue. I have no resume/resumed event utilizing the socket. I'm running the .3 version from the Appc Market.

Any ideas?

Add binary data support

Binary data transfer is currently not supported at the API level. Let's add it

Ti.meteor uses tiws and has problems with tiws

Hi Oliver,

currently I'm playing with Ti.Meteor. In the issue tracker (moritzknecht/TiMeteor#2) I found stories about crashes on iOS. Moritz wrote about PocketSockets and the crashes disappears …… What do you think about crashes and the alternative?

Make the API W3C compliant

In order to simplify the integration with third party JS libs, it would make sense wrapping the module with a pure JS API, compliant with W3C specs.

Android code depends on deprecated org.apache.http.*

The org.apache.http.* library is removed from Android 23, and now we need to link with org.apache.http.legacy.jar (copy from android-sdk/platforms/android-23/optional to android/lib).

Need to replace the code with something else.
