WebSocketClient
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`WebSocketMultiplayerPeer<class_WebSocketMultiplayerPeer>` **<** :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer>` **<** :ref:`PacketPeer<class_PacketPeer>` **<** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A WebSocket client implementation.

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

This class implements a WebSocket client compatible with any RFC 6455-compliant 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 receive appropriate signals when connecting, disconnecting, or when new data is available.

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.

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

.. _class_WebSocketClient_property_trusted_ssl_certificate:

- :ref:`X509Certificate<class_X509Certificate>` **trusted_ssl_certificate**

+----------+------------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_trusted_ssl_certificate(value) |
+----------+------------------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_trusted_ssl_certificate()      |
+----------+------------------------------------+

If specified, this :ref:`X509Certificate<class_X509Certificate>` will be the only one accepted when connecting to an SSL host. Any other certificate provided by the server will be regarded as invalid.

**Note:** Specifying a custom ``trusted_ssl_certificate`` is not supported in HTML5 exports due to browsers restrictions.

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_property_verify_ssl:

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

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

If ``true``, SSL certificate verification is enabled.

**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, :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` custom_headers=PoolStringArray(  ) **)**

Connects to the given URL requesting one of the given ``protocols`` as sub-protocol. If the list empty (default), no sub-protocol will be requested.

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)``).

You can optionally pass a list of ``custom_headers`` to be added to the handshake HTTP request.

**Note:** Specifying ``custom_headers`` is not supported in HTML5 exports due to browsers restrictions.

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_method_disconnect_from_host:

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

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

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_method_get_connected_host:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_connected_host** **(** **)** |const|

Return the IP address of the currently connected host.

----

.. _class_WebSocketClient_method_get_connected_port:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_connected_port** **(** **)** |const|

Return the IP port of the currently connected host.
