[zeromq-dev] Newbie question re websockets

[Mike Lowry]

Thanks Justin.  This appears to be a showstopper:

“…however if you want to use SSL (e.g wss://someaddress) you a need a webserver or loadbalaner in the middle to terminate SSL because ZWSSock doesn't support SSL…”

 

I guess I’m a bit surprised that ZeroMQ doesn’t support wss as a native part of its API.

There are a couple of ways to look at this:

 

1) For doing ZeroMQ communication over a WebSocket, there is "ZWS". It seems to be a work in progress. Some code here: https://github.com/zeromq/zwssock

 

2) For gatewaying from a ZeroMQ application to arbitrary WebSocket peers there's Mongrel2 ( http://mongrel2.org ) and Zurl ( https://github.com/fanout/zurl ).

I am long-time familiar with the Microsoft stack, but after analyzing the cost of scaling up I decided to move to an Ubuntu server platform.  I intend to use websockets (WSS) for communications due to the continued bidirectional connection, efficiency and security.  I  discovered ØMQ and have begun reading the guide and other documentation, but am not yet sufficiently familiar with the protocols to differentiate or determine if conflict exists in this decision.  I have been unable to find anything “official” in the Guide or Reference. A general search has provided a multiplicity of commentary, mostly out-of-date, so I thought I would ask directly – where can I find current, valid documentation on the use/non-use of websockets with ØMQ?  Any guidance you can provide will be much appreciated.
