AzureRelayReceiver Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

An Azure Relay Service listener to accept and communicate with clients.

Syntax

class ipworksmq.AzureRelayReceiver

Remarks

The AzureRelayReceiver class implements the listener role in the Azure Relay service. The class will connect to the server and listen for incoming connections. Once a connection is established data can be exchange freely in both directions allowing a flexible messaging environment.

Authenticating and Listening

Authentication to Azure Relay is performed using the Shared Access Key Name and Shared Access Key created from the Azure portal for the Relay. To begin listening for incoming connections set listening to True.

When set to True the class will immediately attempt to make a connection to the Azure Relay Service and begin listening. The following properties are applicable when setting listening:

To stop listening set listening to False. To shutdown the server including existing connections call shutdown.

Handling Connections

When a connection is made the on_connection_request event fires with information about the connecting client. From within this event the client connection may be accepted (default) or rejected.

If the client connection is accepted the on_connection_connected and on_connection_ready_to_send events fire when the connection completes and is ready to send and receive data.

When data is received from the client the on_connection_data_in event fires with the received data.

To send data to the client set azure_relay_connection_data_to_send or call send, send_file, or send_text.

When the client disconnects the on_connection_disconnected event fires. To initiate the client disconnection call disconnect.

Handling HTTP Connections

Azure Relay also supports HTTP connections which follow a request/response model. When an HTTP request is received the on_http_request event fires with information about the request including the request body. Save the ConnectionId value obtained within on_http_request for use with send_http_response.

To send a HTTP response call send_http_response with the ConnectionId, status code and description, and any response day to be sent back to the client.

Forwarding Connections

The class supports forwarding incoming connection to a separate destination. This functionality allows AzureRelayReceiver to act as a proxy for incoming requests. When forwarding_host and forwarding_port are set anytime a connection is made the class will establish a separate connection to the forwarding_host and forward all incoming traffic. Responses from the forwarding_host are then automatically sent back over the connection.

When connection forwarding is used no special steps are needed to send or receive data. Data flows freely between the connected client and the forwarding_host.

Note: Forwarding is not supported for HTTP requests.

Code Example (WebSockets)


Azurerelayreceiver listener = new Azurerelayreceiver();
listener.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c=";
listener.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey";
listener.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net";
listener.HybridConnection = "hc1";

listener.OnConnectionRequest += (s, e) =>
{
  Console.WriteLine("Connection Request From: " + e.RemoteAddress + ":" + e.RemotePort);
  e.Accept = true;
};

listener.OnConnectionReadyToSend += (s, e) =>
{
  Console.WriteLine("Connection [" + e.ConnectionId + "] connected and ready to send and receive.");
};

listener.OnConnectionDataIn += (s, e) =>
{
  Console.WriteLine("Received data from " + e.ConnectionId + ": " + e.Text);
  //echo the data back
  listener.SendText(e.ConnectionId, e.Text);
  Console.WriteLine("Echoed received data back");
};

listener.Listening = true;

while (true)
  listener.DoEvents();

Code Example (HTTP)


Azurerelaylistener listener = new Azurerelaylistener();
listener.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c=";
listener.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey";
listener.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net";
listener.HybridConnection = "hc1";

listener.OnHTTPRequest += (s, e) => {
  Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request from " + e.RemoteAddress + ":" + e.RemotePort);
  Console.WriteLine("HTTP Method: " + e.RequestMethod);
  Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request: " + e.RequestData);
  myConnectionId = e.ConnectionId;
};

//Send a response using the ConnectionId value from the HTTPRequest event
listener.SendHTTPResponse(myConnectionId, 200, "OK", myResponseBody);
