Features

• WebSocket Clients and Servers - Provides a comprehensive C# implementation for establishing persistent WebSocket connections as a client.
• Real-Time Web Communication - Establishes persistent bidirectional connections for live data exchange between endpoints.
• Binary Protocols - Implements the low-level binary framing required by the WebSocket protocol for efficient data transmission.
• WebSocket Servers - Implements a server that manages persistent bidirectional communication channels for real-time data exchange.
• Handshake Upgrade Handlers - Uses specialized handlers to negotiate the initial HTTP upgrade handshake for establishing bidirectional WebSocket streams.
• HTTP/2 and WebSocket Servers - Integrates WebSocket services into a standard HTTP server to handle requests on specific URL paths.
• WebSocket Service Routings - Maps specific URL endpoints to individual socket handlers to support multiple distinct services on one server.
• TCP Socket Programming - Directly manages raw TCP sockets to handle the binary streaming requirements of the protocol.
• WebSocket Clients - Provides a library for establishing and managing bidirectional WebSocket connections and frame handling.
• SSL/TLS Connection Security - Implements a secure transport layer to encrypt data and validate server certificates between clients and servers.
• Transport Layer Encryption - Provides a secure transport layer using SSL/TLS to encrypt data in transit and validate certificates.
• WebSocket Security - Provides security controls for persistent connections, including SSL/TLS encryption and certificate validation.
• WebSocket Path Routings - Directs incoming WebSocket upgrade requests to specific handlers based on the request URI path.
• Broadcast Messaging - Enables sending a single data payload to all currently connected client sessions on the server.
• WebSocket Frame Compression - Implements WebSocket frame compression via deflate extensions to reduce network bandwidth usage.
• WebSocket Proxy Tunneling - Provides a mechanism to route WebSocket traffic through intermediary proxy servers using Basic or Digest authentication.
• WebSocket CONNECT Tunnels - Routes WebSocket connections through HTTP proxies using the CONNECT method with authentication support.
• Proxy Server Routing - Allows WebSocket clients to route network traffic through an intermediary proxy server to reach endpoints.
• WebSocket Payload Compressions - Provides payload compression via negotiated handshake extensions to reduce data transfer size.
• Proxy-Routed - Provides the ability for WebSocket clients to route connections through HTTP proxies to bypass network restrictions.
• WebSocket Handshake Authentications - Provides mechanisms to attach Basic or Digest authentication credentials to the initial WebSocket upgrade handshake.
• HTTP Authentication Schemes - Implements standard HTTP authentication methods such as Basic and Digest for the connection process.
• Request Authentications - Verifies identity using standard security schemes during the HTTP request transmission for connection handshakes.
• Event-Driven Callbacks - Implements an event-driven callback model to handle network events like connection opens and message arrivals.
• Networking Libraries - WebSocket protocol implementation.
• WebSockets and Real-time - WebSocket protocol client and server implementation.
