tubesocks

A comfortable and fashionable way to have bi-directional conversations with modern web servers.

Tubesocks is a snug little interface that wraps async http client which supports an emerging standard protocol for pushing messages to clients and responding over an open connection.

Here is an echo client.

import tubesocks._
Sock.uri("ws://host") {
  case Message(m, s) => s.send(m)
}

install

sbt

By hand (cut & paste)

libraryDependencies += "me.lessis" %% "tubesocks" % "0.1.0"

The civilized way

ls-install tubesocks

usage

import tubesocks._
Sock.uri("ws://host.com") {
  case Open(s) => s.send("I'm here")
  case Message(t, s) => println("server says %s" format t)
  case Close(s) => println("we're done")
}

Do you prefer configuring your own transmission?

import tubesocks._
Sock.configure({ b =>
  b.setWebSocketIdleTimeoutInMs(2 * 60 * 1000)
})(new URI("ws://host.com")) {
  case Message(t, s) => s.send("thanks for the message")
}
