@ctradu hi. I know it has been a long time since you opened this pull request but now that I'm back I would like to know the reasoning behind this change.
How could you have a Frame that's supposed to continue
(be part of an ongoing message) and at the same time consider it as part of a new message?

@madtrick Hello. It has been a long time since I needed those changes also.
I know I've written a websocket client using wsock and igel and I know that I've made some changes so that I could authenticate using a http cookie.
Currently (9 months later) I don't remember why I needed to change the process_frame function.
It may have been a hack or it may have been a legitimate change.
Is it possible from a wsock perspective that even the begining_message to be so fragmented that this change have a sense ?

@ctradu I don't think so.
When you call decode/2 with new data this data will be tagged with the atom begin_message
. Further in the processing chain we call process_frames/3 with the frames extracted from that data. Then we analize frame by frame and we decide if we that frame belongs to a full message or a fragmented one. This means that some data that was initially tagged as begin_message
can be now tagged as continue_message
(this is the case for fragmented messages). This means that sucessive calls to process_frame/2
for frames belonging to fragmented messages will always have the type continue_message
.
And when we call process_frame/2
with the first frame of data tagged as begin_message
the contextualize_frame/1 function can't return continue
for frames which are the first in a message since according to the rfc the fragmented messages must start with an opcode other than 0 which means that process_frame/4
will match for open_continue
and not for continue
.
I don't know if this clarifies your doubts. If not please ask again
@ctradu in any case I'll take a look to the cookie thing (even if it's to late for you) |
Add a new function open/4, which is open/3 with a forth parameter, which becomes an additional header - Cookie.
Assume this authentication cookie was obtained in a previous step using a http auth mechanism.
My usage scenario is using ibrowse to do the http authentication step in the following manner:
