I am having several errors with a WebSockets server.
Previously, I had a lot of problems in acknowledging the server when a connection was established. In the bind address, I have the empty string which is equal to 0.0.0.0
so I thought that the problem may come from there. For now, the client can only know that it has been connected when the server stops the time
async function. I sometimes get the error
send.html:14 WebSocket connection to ws://86.205.245.32:5678/ failed: WebSocket opening handshake timed out
but rarely.
I have lots of questions that can maybe answer this post.
Can using subprotocol help? If yes, how to use it with a Python server?
Can using WSS help?
Do I need to change the bind IP of 0.0.0.0
to another?
The Server
print("start serveur")
import time, websockets, asyncio
async def time(websocket, path):
print("connect")
print(websocket)
print(await websocket.recv())
start_server = websockets.serve(time, "", 5678)
loop=asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(start_server)
loop.run_forever()

I want to use DMZ because my network is very strange with lots of protection, so I think that putting the server in a Demilitarize zone will help. For now, I can't tell you if it will be helpful because for now when the client execute the line 1* see on the client code
it can't connect to the server. What is strange is that without DMZ and the server on a Windows computer, it's the same but for sending data, the client can only see the data of the server when the server closes the connection.
What did I try
I often have this issues when I close the server during the client execution, even if it doesn't execute the block time
that prints print("connect")
:
Task was destroyed but it is pending!
task: <Task pending coro=<WebSocketServerProtocol.handler() running at /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/websockets/server.py:117> wait_for=<Future pending cb=[Task._wakeup()]>>
I also changed the client's code as follows but without success.
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://86.205.245.32:5678/"),
messages = document.createElement('ul');
ws.onopen = function (event) {
alert("connect");
ws.send("hello");
}

A Windows computer (client)
A Rasberry Pi (server)
Thanks for helping and let me know if you already had this issue and what have you done to solve it. Or if you have found errors in the code that could cause this type of problem
THANKS
I tried to reproduce your issue, but my opinion is that your problem is caused by your network infrastructure.
The server and the client are very basic and they work smoothly.
Divide your problem into different phases:
localhost
, on your PC)Some suggestions may be:
