I may be able to help flatten your learning curve by answering questions you may have or by possibly providing stripped down examples taken from my scripts

Thanks for the offer for continued help. Can you share some basic details on your implementation? Did you communicate with the sgcWebSocketClient app via TCP?

Yes, I communicate with the sgcWebSocket client through its, optional, internal TCP server.  I needed to look back at some of my old scripts to refresh my memory as to why.  I recalled that trying to either read from stdout or write to stdin caused AutoIt to crash, I can't remember which.  I don't think that the console apps were designed to have external processes share stdout or stdin.  That's probably why the developers of the console apps added an optional, internal TCP server to each their console apps.

The basic framework that my scripts use:

  • Open the sgcWebSocket console client using the optional TCP server, on localhost, listening on a specified port.
  • Open a TCP socket to the client's console app
  • Send websocket commands to a server, through the TCP socket, to the websocket client
  • Listen for websocket responses, sent back to the client, using the TCP socket
  • Enqueue those websocket responses using an internal response queue
  • Process the one or more responses from my internal response queue
  • Rinse and repeat the send/listen/enqueue/process loop as needed
  • When finished
    • send a close message to the websocket server
    • close & shut down the tcp session

That is the basic framework for both my send/receive and subscription models.

Below is a current log from sample WebSocket client subscription script that I wrote last year.  It's nice to know that it still works.  The script was indirectly inspired by a link in this post by @jugador.  The topic was related to decoding protobuf packets that were coming from a Yahoo Finance WebSocket server.  As you can see, the script could handle decoding and parsing multiple protobuf messages per second from the WebSocket server.

@TheXmanAre you able to connect to a websocket on localhost using this tool? I've tried using "ws://localhost:9222/" and "ws://127.0.0.1:9222/", and each time the request fails. Here's one of the requests --

{"message":"open", "params":{"url": "ws://localhost:9222/session/e4f94a1e-39a8-45b8-bce3-a2a26a52f2b8"}}
{"event": "error", "description": "Error Decoding Header: Switching Protocols [HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request]"}
{"event": "disconnected", "code": 0}

Any ideas / suggestions?

Edit: This may be why my prior foray with sgcWebSocketClient was short lived 🤔

In the gym, so reply is short. I will respond when I return home and have a chance to see if I can reproduce error and see why it may be failing.

I haven't had any issues connecting to secure and non-secure websocket servers, especially an error saying that it couldn't decode the header. 

That error message is very odd.  Did you enter your "open" command directly into a console window or through a script?  If it was using a script, can you post the script?  I have never gotten the "Error Decoding Header..." message in any of my testing with the sgcWebSocket client.

If I use the sgcWebSocket server listening on 9222 and use the sgcWebSocket client to connect to it, I am unable to reproduce the error.  So it doesn't have anything to do with being on localhost and or port 9222.  It looks more like an issue with how it was sent.

Are you able to successfully connect to a public websocket echo server like:

{"message":"open", "params":{"url": "wss://echo.websocket.events"}}
or
{"message":"open", "params":{"url": "wss://ws.postman-echo.com/raw"}}

 

Edit:

Note:  To make secure connections (wss://...) using the free "Indy" version of the sgcWebSocket client, you must make sure you have the OpenSSL DLL's (libeay32.dll & ssleay32.dll) in the sgcWebSocketClient.exe app's directory or in the PATH.  There are 32 & 64 versions of the OpenSSL DLL's (Unfortunately, both sets are named the same.  Yes, the 64 bit DLL's are named libeay32.dll & ssleay32.dll).  If you don't have a copy, they are included in the sgcWebSockets .NET Community demo package.  They are in the lib\openssl folder.

:)

@TheXmanI was trying to connect to the browser (Firefox in this case) via a websocket. Whenever you start a webdriver session with the correct settings, it will return a string like this --

{"value":{"sessionId":"e4f94a1e-39a8-45b8-bce3-a2a26a52f2b8","capabilities":{"acceptInsecureCerts":true,"browserName":"firefox","browserVersion":"106.0.5","moz:accessibilityChecks":false,"moz:buildID":"20221104133228","moz:debuggerAddress":"127.0.0.1:9222","moz:geckodriverVersion":"0.32.0","moz:headless":false,"moz:platformVersion":"10.0","moz:processID":16004,"moz:profile":"C:\\Users\\danpo\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\rust_mozprofilekYywNT","moz:shutdownTimeout":60000,"moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin":false,"moz:webdriverClick":true,"moz:windowless":false,"pageLoadStrategy":"normal","platformName":"windows","proxy":{},"setWindowRect":true,"strictFileInteractability":false,"timeouts":{"implicit":0,"pageLoad":300000,"script":30000},"unhandledPromptBehavior":"dismiss and notify","webSocketUrl":"ws://127.0.0.1:9222/session/e4f94a1e-39a8-45b8-bce3-a2a26a52f2b8"}}}

The URL I was using as the target comes from the webSocketUrl portion at the end, and I can connect to this websocket target using Postman, iola, and websocat.

The "open" command was entered directly in the console. Yes, I am able to connect to other public non-secure WS servers. I do get the following error if I try to connect to a secure WS -

{"event": "error", "description": "Could not load SSL library.
***PATH***
***VERSION***
***METHODS*** "Failed to load libeay32.dll.""}

I haven't looked into this one, but I'm guessing that it wouldn't be difficult to fix.

I added a note about secure client connections in my previous post.  I must have submitted it right before you hit enter.  :)

 

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the new Webdriver BiDi Protocols.  Hopefully, it's something that may be resolved by adding a setting to the session config.  If it were me, I would probably start by sniffing the sgc and postman websocket request conversations to see what the differences are.

Have you tried using the tcp:// form of the open message?

{"message":"open", "params":{"url": "tcp://localhost:9222/session/e4f94a1e-39a8-45b8-bce3-a2a26a52f2b8"}}

I just did, and it appears to successfully connect.

Nice!!! :)

Postman and the others probably automatically fall back to a more legacy (tcp://) connection handshake sequence if the websocket (ws://) handshake fails. Obviously, the free sgcWebSocket client isn't that smart.  ;)

I just ran a test.  I think the tcp:// connection is pure TCP connection.  It will not work with the websocket server.  :(

A simple request would look like this --

{"id":0, "method":"session.status", "params":{}}

and the response would be something like

{"id":0,"result":{"ready":false,"message":"Session already started"}}

I tried sending this with sgcWebSocketClient --

{"message":"write", "params":{"id":0, "method":"session.status", "params":{}}}

but no response was received. I will also be testing with Chrome and Edge to see if they behave any differently.

I updated my previous post to say that I don't think the tcp:// connection will work.  It appears to be pure tcp, no websocket protocol support.

Some good news --- I was able to successfully connect to Chrome, send a command and receive a response.

{"message":"open", "params":{"url":"ws://127.0.0.1:9515/session/7deb92b544692b14fababe9dd78a2680"}}
{"event": "connected"}
{"message":"write", "text":{"id":0, "method":"session.status", "params":{}}}
{"event": "message", "text": "{"id":0,"result":{"message":"ready","ready":true}}"}
{"message":"close"}
{"event": "disconnected", "code": 0}

Thanks for you guidance with this. I will continue investigating the issue with FF. Maybe there's a way to adjust how their websockets work.

Awesome!  :thumbsup:

You're welcome.

I was doing a little research and saw this Mozilla ticket about Webdriver websocket connections and how they added validation of the Origin & Host request headers.  I then did a quick sniff of a non-secure sgcWebSocketClient open message to see if the Host & Origin headers were set correctly, and they were.

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: echo.websocket.events
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Key: bqpkyi65bouSV8Kqun8pNg==
Origin: echo.websocket.events
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13


HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
Connection: Upgrade
Upgrade: websocket
Sec-Websocket-Accept: HOcE1/MjyW+5fE7PkLD6AbUS3Bs=
Via: 1.1 vegur

It would be interesting to see what the connection conversation with the Firefox Webdriver websocket server looks like and how it differs from the Chrome conversation.

It would help if you include the request also, not just the response.  Looking at just the response, it appears that the request was invalid because the URI was:

[Request in frame: 435]
    [Request URI: http://127.0.0.1:9222/session/afbb4b0c-aed8-45db-b16e-baba587e7369]

Shouldn't that have been ws://localhost:9222/session/afbb4b0c-aed8-45db-b16e-baba587e7369?

I believe http is correct here because this is the request where the upgrade from http --> websocket is taking place. Here's an open issue that I believe touches on this issue.

Yes, the request looks fine.

That open issue does seem to be related.  Nice find! 👍

That would explain why the same open message works in Chrome but not in FF.

I wonder why some of your other websocket clients worked with FF, maybe they don't send an Origin header?  That's why I asked for a capture from one of them also -- just to see the differences.

@TheXmanThis is an example of what is being returned --

{"event": "message", "text": "{"id":1,"result":{"children":[],"context":"5345B590C795D8DA358D3E1CFC4E61A9","parent":null,"url":"about:blank"}}"}

Only the opening bracket is returned when using this UDF to process the JSON. Here's a short reproducer --

#include "JSON.au3" ; https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/148114-a-non-strict-json-udf-jsmn

$sJSON = '{"event": "message", "text": "{"id":1,"result":{"children":[],"context":"5345B590C795D8DA358D3E1CFC4E61A9","parent":null,"url":"about:blank"}}"}'
Json_Dump($sJSON)

$oJSON = Json_Decode($sJSON)
$oJSON2 = Json_ObjGet($oJSON, 'text')
$sJSON2 = Json_Encode($oJSON2)
;### Debug CONSOLE ↓↓↓
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $sJSON2 = ' & $sJSON2 & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF)

Local $sKey = '[text]'
$sText = Json_Get($oJSON, $sKey)
;### Debug CONSOLE ↓↓↓
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $sText = ' & $sText & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF)

The output looks like this --

+-> .event  =message
+-> .text  ={
+-> .id"  =1
+-> .result.context  =5345B590C795D8DA358D3E1CFC4E61A9
+-> .result.parent  =Null
+-> .result.url  =about:blank
@@ Debug(14) : $sJSON2 = "{"
>Error code: 0
@@ Debug(19) : $sText = {
>Error code: 0

It works as expected if you remove the double quotes surrounding the value of the "text" node. Does this match your experience? If so, how did you resolve this issue?

Edit: There may be a better way to handle this, but I used StringRegExpReplace to remove the extra double quotes in the text node.

Yes, it matches my experience.  As you've noticed, the sgcWebSocketClient will always wrap the text of its message events in double quotes (").  In your example, the text happens to be JSON.  When I expected a JSON response from a websocket server, which of course is not always the case, I simply stripped the leading and trailing double quotes from the text before processing it.  If I were using json.au3, or some other tool that couldn't handle the double quotes itself, then I would simply do it by using StringReplace or a much more accurate StringRegExpReplace.

Spoiler
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <MyIncludes\json\json.au3>

$sJSON = '{"event": "message", "text": "{"id":1,"result":{"children":[],"context":"5345B590C795D8DA358D3E1CFC4E61A9","parent":null,"url":"about:blank"}}"}'

;Remove leading/trainling double quotes from JSON text
$sJSON = StringReplace($sJSON, '"{', '{')
$sJSON = StringReplace($sJSON, '}"', '}')

ConsoleWrite("JSON = " & $sJSON & @CRLF & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite("Dumped JSON" & @CRLF)
Json_Dump($sJSON)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF)

;Decode JSON objects
$oJSON = Json_Decode($sJSON)
$oText = Json_Get($oJSON, '.text')

ConsoleWrite("Pretty-printed full JSON" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(Json_Encode($oJSON, $JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite("Pretty-printed .text object" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(Json_Encode($oText, $JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite("Dump of .text object" & @CRLF)
Json_Dump(Json_Encode($oText))

Output:

JSON = {"event": "message", "text": {"id":1,"result":{"children":[],"context":"5345B590C795D8DA358D3E1CFC4E61A9","parent":null,"url":"about:blank"}}}

For the record, I do not use the json.au3 UDF to process JSON.  I only use it when I need to parse a few specific values because jsmn (the parsing engine used by json.au3) is strictly a parser and is very fast and efficient at doing that task.  As it has been shown, the json.au3 UDF is not always the best tool to use when more advance processing of JSON is required.  Further more, it has issues with certain types of valid keys -- which I have offered fixes when those issues have been identified.

Side Note:
I don't know if you noticed, but in the 2nd post on this page I recently added a log file from a recent execution of an old script that I wrote using the sgcWebSocketClient.  I posted it only to show that the websocket client, depending on the script that implements it, can efficiently handle multiple protobuf responses per second. I also added the log to show the basic subscription framework that I used in action -- one in which I queue the responses and process them from my queue.  That was necessary in this particular subscription because I had to assume that I was receiving more than one response from the server at any given time -- at least from the server that I was working with in the script.  Which is another reason why I don't use json.au3.  It does not correctly handle multiple JSON responses without breaking them up first.  Which is, again, because it is basically a JSON parser, not a processor.
