Should I learn WebSockets?
Websocket is a protocol that keeps the connection between client and server open for persistent data exchange. WebSockets are a fairly new technology but quickly becoming an industry standard. That being said, it’s important to note that WebSockets will not replace HTTP in your server rather it enhances HTTP protocol.
Can WebSocket lose messages?
4 Answers. It can happen. TCP guarantees the order of packets, but it does not mean that all packets sent from a server reach a client even when an unrecoverable trouble happens in an underlying network.
How does WebSocket work for client and server?
The key word in that definition is two-way: with WebSocket, both the client and the server can trigger communication with one another, and both can send messages, at the same time. Why is this a big deal? To fully appreciate the power of WebSocket, let’s take a step back and look at a few common ways that computers can fetch data from the server.
How to keep your WebSocket session alive?
All the JAVA implemented Websocket server/client follow JSR356. JSR356 defines annotations for developer to easily create websocket endpoints, such as @ServerEndpoint, @ClientEndpoint. After the Websocket connection has been established, a Session is created.
Why does WebSocket time out when HTTP time out?
Due to websocket is initiated with a http request, so there is asscoiate between the paritcular http session and any websocket established within that http session. While I did find it in the doc, but from looking up on ther Internet, the expected behavior is that when the http session times out the websocket session also times out.
Is it safe to use a WebSocket with an authenticated user?
If you’re using websockets for authenticated users, it is a pretty good idea to only allow authenticated users to establish a successful websocket connection. Don’t allow anyone to establish a connection and then wait for them to authenticate over the websocket itself.
