Parameters

Parameter Description Example Flags
curl The CURL session handle. $curl
BufferSize The buffer size to use.
Default is 65536 and minimum is 1024.
Optional

Result

Returns JSON or error.

Description

Receive WebSocket data.
Retrieves as much as possible of a received WebSocket data fragment into the buffer, but not more than BufferSize bytes. The bytesReceived value in the returned JSON is set to the number of bytes actually stored.

If there is more fragment data to deliver than what fits in the provided buffer, CURL returns a full buffer and the application needs to call this function again to continue draining the buffer.

The returned JSON contains the data and the metadata about the received data.
This includes the following fields:

OffsetThe offset of this data into the frame.
BytesLeftNumber of pending bytes left of the payload.
BytesReceivedThe number of bytes received.
FlagsFlags for this packet.
FlagTextTrue, if this is text.
FlagBinaryTrue, if this is binary.
FlagContinueTrue, if this is not the final fragment of the message, which implies that there will be another fragment coming as part of the same message where this bit is not set.
FlagCloseTrue, if this closes the transfer.
FlagPingTrue, if this is a ping.
FlagPongTrue, if this is a pong.
FlagOffsetTrue, if this is a partial fragment.
DataThe data received, hex encoded.
TextThe data read as UTF-8 text, if possible.

Examples

Set Variable [ $result ; Value: MBS("CURL.WebSocketReceive"; $curl) ]

Example result:
{ "Offset": 11, "BytesLeft": 0, "BytesReceived": 11, "Flags": 2, "FlagText": false, "FlagBinary": true, "FlagContinue": false, "FlagClose": false, "FlagPing": false, "FlagPong": false, "FlagOffset": false, "Data": "48656C6C6F20576F726C64", "Text": "Hello World" }
