The token that I use to start the websocket_messaging.py via -t option, that token doesn't change, so which token does the server create to give to the client, and how does it register it with the websocket_server. Are the tokens unique for each client? and if so how are they generated and registered to allow communication? how different is the token for the -t option from the token the server creates? I'm a bit confused how to use this. The english makes sense but the technicality behind it is still fuzzy. Like, from what I understand, the server creates a token when the client first connects and gives it to the client. when the client tries to send messages via the websocket, it has to add the token to the message via url/realtime/group/token. I still don't know how to implement this (if that's what you're saying even means.
A simple chat app implementing just this can help my understanding, I'm only asking. But some further explanation will also do until I can understand.
