Hi,
I'm new to websockets and also pretty much to Apache. I am supposed to implement a websockets backend, in C++ (which I do know) that a client application will connect to in order to obtain live data.
One option I'm investigating is using mod_proxy_wstunnel, but I cannot find any information on what a backend application using it is supposed to implement itself. I imagine this works as follows: the remote client (javascript running in a browser) sets up a websocket connection. Apache deals with the details of TLS and authentication (in the form of a client certificate), and starts a CGI handler application that just gets individual websocket messages.
1) In general, is this a sensible approach or could I be doing this in a much better way?
2) Is there a description somewhere of the data that the CGI handler is going to send and receive? (I mean in terms of protocol; obviously the message contents are my problem).
Thanks in advance, H. Guijt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
