The **dwebsocket** module provides an implementation of the WebSocket
Protocol for django. 

This module implements the final version of the WebSocket protocol as
defined in `RFC 6455 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455>`_.  Certain
browser versions (notably Safari 5.x) implemented an earlier draft of
the protocol (known as "draft 76") and are not compatible with this module.

The **dwebsocket** module based django-websocket development, django-websocket
module in `https://github.com/gregmuellegger/django-websocket`.
Thank you Gregor M眉llegger.

Usage
=====

You can use the ``accept_websocket`` decorator if you want to handle websocket
connections just for a single view - it will route standard HTTP requests to
the view as well. Use ``require_websocket`` to only allow WebSocket
connections but reject normal HTTP requests.

You can use a middleware if you want to have WebSockets available for *all*
URLs in your application. Add
``dwebsocket.middleware.WebSocketMiddleware`` to your
``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`` setting. This will still reject websockets for normal
views. You have to set the ``accept_websocket`` attribute on a view to allow
websockets.

To allow websockets for *every single view*, set the ``WEBSOCKET_ACCEPT_ALL``
setting to ``True``.

The request objects passed to a view, decorated with ``accept_websocket`` or
``require_websocket`` will have the following attributes/methods attached.
These attributes are always available if you use the middleware.

``request.is_websocket()``
--------------------------

Returns either ``True`` if the request has a valid websocket or ``False`` if
its a normal HTTP request. Use this method in views that can accept both types
of requests to distinguish between them.

``request.websocket``
---------------------

After a websocket is established, the request will have a ``websocket``
attribute which provides a simple API to communicate with the client. This
attribute will be ``None`` if ``request.is_websocket()`` returns ``False``.

It has the following public methods:

``WebSocket.wait(timeout=-1)``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This will return exactly one message sent by the client. It will not return
before a message is received or the conection is closed by the client. In this
case the method will return ``None``.

``WebSocket.read()``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ``read`` method will return either a new message if available or ``None``
if no new message was received from the client. It is a non-blocking
alternative to the ``wait()`` method.

``WebSocket.count_messages()``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Returns the number of queued messages.

``WebSocket.has_messages()``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Returns ``True`` if new messages are available, else ``False``.

``WebSocket.send(message)``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This will send a single message to the client.

``WebSocket.__iter__()``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can use the websocket as iterator. It will yield every new message sent by
the client and stop iteration after the client has closed the connection.

``WebSocket.is_closed()``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Return to ``True`` if websocket is closed, else ``False``.

Error handling
--------------

The library will return a Http 400 error (Bad Request) if the client requests
a WebSocket connection, but the request is malformed or not supported by
*dwebsocket*.

Examples
========

Receive one message from the client, send that message back to the client and
close the connection (by returning from the view)::

    from dwebsocket import require_websocket

    @require_websocket
    def echo_once(request):
        message = request.websocket.wait()
        request.websocket.send(message)

Send websocket messages from the client as lowercase and provide same
functionallity for normal GET requests::

    from django.http import HttpResponse
    from dwebsocket import accept_websocket

    def modify_message(message):
        return message.lower()

    @accept_websocket
    def lower_case(request):
        if not request.is_websocket():
            message = request.GET['message']
            message = modify_message(message)
            return HttpResponse(message)
        else:
            for message in request.websocket:
                message = modify_message(message)
                request.websocket.send(message)


Change websocket backends
-------------------

Currently supports two kinds of backends, they are default and uwsgi.

Django develop server, eventlent, gevent, gunicore are supported by default.

If you want to use the uwsgi backend, add `WEBSOCKET_FACTORY_CLASS` in the settings.py file::

    WEBSOCKET_FACTORY_CLASS = 'dwebsocket.backends.uwsgi.factory.uWsgiWebSocketFactory'

Run uwsgi::

    uwsgi --http :8080 --http-websockets --processes 1 \
    --wsgi-file wsgi.py--async 30 --ugreen --http-timeout 300


Using in production
-------------------

Currently there is a cluster of two machines being used dwebsocket, it uses
gevent wsgi deployed, each machine around 150,000 concurrent connections.
