Prepare an Apache HTTP Server for which mod_python is enabled. + +1. Specify the following Apache HTTP Server directives to suit your + configuration. + + If mod_pywebsocket is not in the Python path, specify the following. + <websock_lib> is the directory where mod_pywebsocket is installed. + + PythonPath "sys.path+['<websock_lib>']" + + Always specify the following. <websock_handlers> is the directory where + user-written Web Socket handlers are placed. + + PythonOption mod_pywebsocket.handler_root <websock_handlers> + PythonHeaderParserHandler mod_pywebsocket.headerparserhandler + + To limit the search for Web Socket handlers to a directory <scan_dir> + under <websock_handlers>, configure as follows: + + PythonOption mod_pywebsocket.handler_scan <scan_dir> + + <scan_dir> is useful in saving scan time when <websock_handlers> + contains many non-Web Socket handler files. + + Example snippet of httpd.conf: + (mod_pywebsocket is in /websock_lib, Web Socket handlers are in + /websock_handlers, port is 80 for ws, 443 for wss.) + + <IfModule python_module> + PythonPath "sys.path+['/websock_lib']" + PythonOption mod_pywebsocket.handler_root /websock_handlers + PythonHeaderParserHandler mod_pywebsocket.headerparserhandler + </IfModule> + +Writing Web Socket handlers: + +When a Web Socket request comes in, the resource name +specified in the handshake is considered as if it is a file path under +<websock_handlers> and the handler defined in +<websock_handlers>/<resource_name>_wsh.py is invoked. + +For example, if the resource name is /example/chat, the handler defined in +<websock_handlers>/example/chat_wsh.py is invoked. + +A Web Socket handler is composed of the following two functions: + + web_socket_do_extra_handshake(request) + web_socket_transfer_data(request) + +where: + request: mod_python request. + +web_socket_do_extra_handshake is called during the handshake after the +headers are successfully parsed and Web Socket properties (ws_location, +ws_origin, ws_protocol, and ws_resource) are added to request. A handler +can reject the request by raising an exception. + +web_socket_transfer_data is called after the handshake completed +successfully. A handler can receive/send messages from/to the client +using request. mod_pywebsocket.msgutil module provides utilities +for data transfer. +""" + + +# vi:sts=4 sw=4 et tw=72 |
