inject websocket headers at upgrade time

[mezz]

Hi,
I need to inject custome headers in HTTP/websockets calls.
I managed to implement a resource handler provider which intercepts the "OnRequest(scoped_refptr<CefResourceManager::Request> request)" calls and injects the headers.
I managed to inject cookies as well.

I am able to the intercept the HTTP/S calls but not the websocket upgrades / wss calls. So I am not even able to see the initial websocket upgrade (HTTP/S) with the Connection: Upgrade header.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way of injecting websocket headers like standard cookies (which are headers as well)?

Thank you

Enrico

There is currently no mechanism for intercepting WebSockets calls. You might be able to create a WebSockets proxy server, perhaps using CefServer.

Thank you, we will try that then,

A bit late to the party, here I know, but how did this work out for you? I have the exact same need and feel somewhat lost...

I've implemented a WebScoket server in c++ as a lib and it's always running in Cef as

Code: Select all

void ClientHandler::OnAfterCreated(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser)
{
    CEF_REQUIRE_UI_THREAD();

    std::thread thread = std::thread([browser]()
    {
         Intialize WebSocket, bind to port;
         while(true)  // Actual condition involves checking to StopListening event.
        {
             Listen with callback
         }
    });

    thread.detach();


It's working fine for me, but Cefr gurus, please suggest if there is a better solution.
