Remarks
The WSServer class provides an easy way to accept connections from WebSocket clients and transfer data.
The WSServer class is a server that accepts incoming WebSocket connections and provides an easy way to send and receive data over the connection.
To begin using the class first specify a valid value for LocalPort. This is the port on which incoming connections will be accepted. To begin listening set Listening to True.
When a client connects the WebSocketOpenRequest event will fire. To accept the connection simply allow the event to complete. To reject the request set the StatusCode parameter to an HTTP error code (such as 401).
Once the connection is received incoming data will be provide through the DataIn event. To send data to a client you may use the Send, SendText, or SendFile methods. You may also set WSConnectionDataToSend.
Property List
The following is the full list of the properties of the class with short descriptions. Click on the links for further details.
ConnectionBacklog | The maximum number of pending connections maintained by the TCP/IP subsystem. |
WSConnectionCount | The number of records in the WSConnection arrays. |
WSConnectionAcceptData | Setting this property to False, temporarily disables data reception (and the DataIn event) on the connection. |
WSConnectionBytesSent | This property shows how many bytes were sent after the last assignment to DataToSend . |
WSConnectionConnected | This property is used to disconnect individual connections and/or show their status. |
WSConnectionConnectionId | This property contains an identifier generated by the component to identify each connection. |
WSConnectionDataFormat | The format of the data being sent. |
WSConnectionDataToSend | This property contains a string of data to be sent to the remote host. |
WSConnectionHost | The Host header value of the connected client. |
WSConnectionLocalAddress | This property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is passing. |
WSConnectionOrigin | The Origin header value of the connected client. |
WSConnectionRemoteHost | This property shows the IP address of the connected client. |
WSConnectionRemotePort | This property shows the port of the connected client. |
WSConnectionRequestHeaders | The HTTP headers sent by the client in the initial WebSocket connection request. |
WSConnectionRequestURI | The requested URI sent by the client in the initial WebSocket connection request. |
WSConnectionSubProtocols | The subprotocols (application-level protocols layered over the WebSocket Protocol) sent by the client in the initial WebSocket connection request. |
WSConnectionTimeout | A timeout for the component. |
DefaultTimeout | An initial timeout value to be used by incoming connections. |
Listening | If True, the component accepts incoming connections on LocalPort. |
LocalHost | The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted. |
LocalPort | The TCP port in the local host where the component listens. |
SSLAuthenticateClients | If true, the server asks the client(s) for a certificate. |
SSLCertEncoded | The certificate (PEM/base64 encoded). |
SSLCertStore | The name of the certificate store for the client certificate. |
SSLCertStorePassword | If the certificate store is of a type that requires a password, this property is used to specify that password in order to open the certificate store. |
SSLCertStoreType | The type of certificate store for this certificate. |
SSLCertSubject | The subject of the certificate used for client authentication. |
UseSSL | Determines if SSL is negotiated with incoming connections. |

Config | Sets or retrieves a configuration setting . |
Disconnect | Disconnect the specified client. |
DoEvents | Processes events from the internal message queue. |
Interrupt | Interrupts a synchronous send to the remote host. |
Send | Sends binary data to the client. |
SendFile | Send file to the remote host. |
SendText | Sends text data to the client. |
Shutdown | Shuts down the server. |
Event List
