[zeromq-dev] Websockets as a Transport ?

[Mark Farnan]

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I am actually not so much interested in the browser, as I am in using
Websockets for the underlying transport between applications / clients &
Server, which have to communicate across the Internet,  (over firewalls).

 

Websockets works extremely well for this purpose, to provide a bidirectional
socket based connection, over ports 80/443.  Many corporate firewalls have
TCP ports blocked, and opening them is not an option for our application.

 

ZeroMQ looks perfect for the task in all things, except no Websocket
transport (to replace the TCP transport), so I was hoping someone has looked
at it already.

Writing it ourselves may be an option,  vs using another of the Messaging
systems.

 

Regards

This isnt the official response. 

It is very easy though to create a bridge between the two if you use nodejs
and the socket.io module.

There was also a project to put the zeromq semantics in the browser.

Howdy all,

 

I'm evaluating zeroMQ, and one main criteria we have is to support
Websockets for client to server communications.

 

Has there been any work on making a native Websocket transport for ZeroMQ in
the core C++ libraries ?
