TCP connection with SocketCluster

[manuelrocha88]

I'm trying to do a TCP listener in order to grab the information sent by a GPS Tracker.

I've done the following with node.js net package

let net = require('net');

let netServer = net.createServer(function (socket) {

    //Once we receive data...
    socket.on('data', function (data) {
        console.log('data');

        console.log(data.toString().length);
        console.log(data.toString());
    });

    socket.on('end', function () {

        console.log('end');
    });

    socket.on('error', function (err) {

        console.log('error');
        console.log(err.message);
        console.log(err.name);
        console.log(err.stack);
    });
});

netServer.listen(7018);

I'd love to do the same but with SocketCluster. Can someone give a quick tip on this?

This is one of the approach I've tried so far, but without success:

var net = require('net');
var socketClusterServer = require('socketcluster-server');

var net = net.createServer();
var scServer = socketClusterServer.attach(net);
net.listen(7018);

scServer.on('connection', function (socket) {

  connection.on('data', function (data) {
    console.log('data');
    console.log(data.toString());
  });
});

Since WebSockets is based on TCP, it's possible but a lot of work. You'd have to implement the WebSocket client protocol from scratch. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6455
