WebSocketManager

An event-loop based websocket manager thread that handles incoming messages and passes them off to their connection's message handler. This manager is enabled by setting the configuration option enableWebSockets to true.

This manager controls the list of connected websocket clients, so in practice, you will most often use the manager for its broadcast methods to send out messages to all clients. You can get an instance of this manager from a request context like so: ctx.server.getWebSocketManager()

class WebSocketManager : Thread {

this();

void registerConnection(Socket socket, WebSocketMessageHandler handler);

void deregisterConnection(WebSocketConnection conn);

void broadcast(ubyte[] bytes);

void broadcast(string text);

void stop();

}

Constructors

this this(): Constructs a new manager with an initially empty socket set.
