Standard Websocket client support? #154

Closed maheshsapre closed 10 years ago

Hi

Thanks for this gem!

I am evaluating if this gem would help in our requirement. Our requirement is like this:

We have a server which manages many devices (say IP Cameras). The server needs to communicate to these devices without having the problems of firewall etc.

We find the websockets would address our problem. So a device would be the websocket client.

Do you recommend this gem in this scenario where the device would be using a C/C++ standard websocket client.

Thanks for your support.

Any RFC 6455 client should work, you may want to manually respond to pings using the websocket_rails namespace, but it's not required since ping/pong is part of the RFC spec.

I use this gem to communicate with Ruby and Python clients (Faye and Autobahn), and it works fantastically.

Thanks KazW. That clarifies my doubts!

It sounds like @KazW answered your question sufficiently. I am going to close this out for now. Thanks for trying out the gem.
