Websocket Sharp
websocket-sharp is a C# library implementation of the WebSocket protocol used for building bidirectional client and server applications. It enables real-time data exchange between endpoints via persistent connections.
The library provides specialized networking capabilities, including SSL encrypted networking for secure transport and certificate validation. It also features HTTP proxy tunneling to route traffic through intermediary servers using basic or digest authentication.
The project covers a broad range of capabilities, including the implementation of both WebSocket clients and servers, path-based service routing, and the ability to broadcast messages to multiple clients. It includes support for managing handshake metadata and payload compression to reduce data transfer size.
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.
- Biblioteci de rețea - WebSocket protocol implementation.
- WebSockets and Real-time - WebSocket protocol client and server implementation.
