Run WebSocket Server locally

Question

I'm creating application with SIP phone. I need setup WebSocket Server locally for tests. After searching in Internet I can't found easy to install and configure solution.

Can you recommend me WebSocket Server solution?

Answer 1

Well, the question is way to open, since because WebSockets are just a type of transport, it is difficult to find a "easy to install and configure solution". You will need to choose a base framework, a websocket library and then cope with the particularities of such combination.

For example, you can use

• node.js and socket.io : https://github.com/vtortola/WebSocketListener/wiki/Mono-support
• Mono and WebSocketListener : https://github.com/vtortola/WebSocketListener/wiki/Mono-support
• Java and its WebSocket: https://blog.idrsolutions.com/2013/12/websockets-an-introduction/
• PHP/Apache and Ratchet: http://socketo.me/

Of, if you have already a TCP service, you can use WebSockify to provide the same service through WebSockets: https://github.com/kanaka/websockify

So it is a matter of taste and what you feel more comfortable with.
