websocat -t ws-l:127.0.0.1:1234 mirror:WebsiteWithSocket
websocat: MirrorClass-specifer requires no parameters. `WebsiteWithSocket` is not needed
Why mirror: at all? What do you mean by WebsiteWithSocket?
echo 'Hello world' | nc -q 1 127.0.0.1 1234
You are sending a plaintext request to a socket that is supposedly opened by Websocat in websocket (not plaintext) mode (ws-l: part).
You you want a persistent client connection to a WebSocket server that can be reused multiple times in a Bash script, you can use something like this:
$ websocat -t -E tcp-l:127.0.0.1:1234 reuse-raw:ws://echo.websocket.org --max-messages-rev 1&
[1] 864
$ echo 'Hello 1' | nc 127.0.0.1 1234
Hello 1
$ echo 'World 2' | nc 127.0.0.1 1234
World 2
$ kill %1
$
[1]+ Terminated websocat -t -E tcp-l:127.0.0.1:1234 reuse-raw:ws://echo.websocket.org --max-messages-rev 1If your Websocat has no --max-messages-rev option, you can omit it and use -q1 in netcats.

Hi! Good job with the tool! I need a help to use it in bash script. I would like to open a websocket connection from Script, write to the socket at any moment and read and save in file.
I achieved send information to the socket dinamically using a webscoket server and redirection it like this: websocat -t ws-l:127.0.0.1:1234 mirror:WebsiteWithSocket echo 'Hello world' | nc -q 1 127.0.0.1 1234
How could save the response to file from my bash script? Thanks. Good job again!
