I just wanted to share something that i’been working for a couple of weeks. I wanted to use a WebSocket Server that would be inside of a game. I build one in android with java and i had the intention to build other one in Objective C for IOS.
I didn’t like the idea of implementing the server twice, so, after some reading and testing i was able to implement a WebSocket Server with C++ using the Libwebsockets lib (already included with Cocos) and create also the JavaScript binding so it can be used in Cocos2d-js.
I made a four part blog with instructions about how to do use it:
The code is on GitHub:
https://github.com/carlgira/wsserver-cocos2djs
In GitHub you can find:
- A precompiled server enabled version of libwebsockets for android and ios. (websockets.zip)
- A C++ implementation of a WebSocketServer. (WebSocketServer.h, WebSocketServer.cpp)
- A C++ JavaScript bindings for Cocos (jsb_websocketserver.h, jsb_websocketserver.cpp)
- An android makefile to include libwebsocket in an android project (Android.mk)
- A JavaScript app to start the Server an test it with some clients (app.js)
- An additional web client to test the WebSocketServer app (test-server.html)
I hope someone find this useful.
Thanks!

Is there any way we can find the client readyState??
Ive tried implementing this in a turn based game and it went well…but if a client connects to a server and tries to call the socket.close() the app crashes leaving this error log…

Is there any way to bypass this??
@carlgira hello need help…
I have also server / client tutorial to set up libwebsocktes server
@AbhyudaiRagh, did you fix this issue? I have the same problem now
Hi there, (i know its been a while).
The websocket server was very simple and it did not implement all possible callbacks, thats why the message “Unhandled websocket event:”
I will check it but i think is not that hard. Go to the “WebSocketServer.cpp” to the method onSocketCallback, and debug to identify for the event that is not been handled, add the condition using the corresponding flag (look for flag in https://libwebsockets.org/lws-api-doc-master/html/group__usercb.html) and according with the event add some logic. (i’m pretty sure you can copy and paste something of the already existing switch conditions)
Hii,
I just left this WebsocketServer class and created a websocket server side for android using java and implemented in my game.Im not that good at pragramming in c++.
Even though i’ll try doing the things as you said.
Thanks for the reply,
