Signals
-------

.. _class_WebSocketClient_signal_connection_closed:

- **connection_closed** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` was_clean_close **)**

Emitted when the connection to the server is closed. ``was_clean_close`` will be ``true`` if the connection was shutdown cleanly.

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_signal_connection_error:

- **connection_error** **(** **)**

Emitted when the connection to the server fails.

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_signal_connection_established:

- **connection_established** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` protocol **)**

Emitted when a connection with the server is established, ``protocol`` will contain the sub-protocol agreed with the server.

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_signal_data_received:

- **data_received** **(** **)**

Emitted when a WebSocket message is received. Note: This signal is NOT emitted when used as high level multiplayer peer.

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_signal_server_close_request:

- **server_close_request** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` code, :ref:`String<class_String>` reason **)**

Emitted when the server requests a clean close. You should keep polling until you get a :ref:`connection_closed<class_WebSocketClient_signal_connection_closed>` signal to achieve the clean close. See :ref:`WebSocketPeer.close<class_WebSocketPeer_method_close>` for more details.

Description
-----------

This class implements a WebSocket client compatible with any RFC 6455 complaint WebSocket server.

This client can be optionally used as a network peer for the :ref:`MultiplayerAPI<class_MultiplayerAPI>`.

After starting the client (:ref:`connect_to_url<class_WebSocketClient_method_connect_to_url>`), you will need to :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.poll<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_method_poll>` it at regular intervals (e.g. inside :ref:`Node._process<class_Node_method__process>`).

You will received appropriate signals when connecting, disconnecting, or when new data is available.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_WebSocketClient_property_verify_ssl:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **verify_ssl**

+----------+-------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_verify_ssl_enabled(value) |
+----------+-------------------------------+
| *Getter* | is_verify_ssl_enabled()       |
+----------+-------------------------------+

Enable or disable SSL certificate verification. Note: You must specify the certificates to be used in the project settings for it to work when exported.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_WebSocketClient_method_connect_to_url:

- :ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **connect_to_url** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` url, :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` protocols=PoolStringArray(  ), :ref:`bool<class_bool>` gd_mp_api=false **)**

Connect to the given URL requesting one of the given ``protocols`` as sub-protocol.

If ``true`` is passed as ``gd_mp_api``, the client will behave like a network peer for the :ref:`MultiplayerAPI<class_MultiplayerAPI>`, connections to non Godot servers will not work, and :ref:`data_received<class_WebSocketClient_signal_data_received>` will not be emitted.

If ``false`` is passed instead (default), you must call :ref:`PacketPeer<class_PacketPeer>` functions (``put_packet``, ``get_packet``, etc.) on the :ref:`WebSocketPeer<class_WebSocketPeer>` returned via ``get_peer(1)`` and not on this object directly (e.g. ``get_peer(1).put_packet(data)``).

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_method_disconnect_from_host:

- void **disconnect_from_host** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` code=1000, :ref:`String<class_String>` reason="" **)**

Disconnect this client from the connected host. See :ref:`WebSocketPeer.close<class_WebSocketPeer_method_close>` for more info.
