the basic idea of websocket is that input data must be validated by web2py
therefore data can only be received from web2py.
In your JS code you simply do:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
if(!web2py_websocket('ws://127.0.0.1:8888/realtime/mygroup',function(e){alert(e.data)}))
alert("html5 websocket not supported by your browser, try Google
Chrome");
});
</script>
This makes the client join the group "mygroup" and is data is received, the
callback function is called.
You post by doing an ajax to web2py and web2py does
from gluon.contrib.websocket_messaging import websocket_send
websocket_send('http://127.0.0.1:8888','Hello World','mykey','mygroup')
This sends the message "hello world" to all the members of the group
"mygroup".
Notice that web2py and websocket share a "mykey". This is how security is
implemented. web2py validates input and it knows the key for posting. the
only way to allow posting directly from JS would be to remove this security
step or creating some authentication at the JS level. I do not trust
authentication at the JS level.
