help

will this break meteor default sockjs?

server

import { WebSocketServer } from 'ws'

const wss1 = new WebSocketServer({ noServer: true })

WebApp.httpServer.on('upgrade', function upgrade(request, socket, head) {
  console.log(request.url)
  if (request.url === '/hello') {
    wss1.handleUpgrade(request, socket, head, function (ws) {
      wss1.emit('connection', ws, request)
    })
  }
})

wss1.on('connection', function connection (ws) {
  ws.on('error', console.error)

  ws.on('message', function message(data) {
    console.log('received: %s', data)
  })

  ws.send('something')
})

client

var a = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3000/hello')
undefined
a.send('message', 'test')
undefined
a.send('message', 'test')
undefined
a.send('message', 'test')
undefined
a.send('message', 'test')

I never had to do this but as you are using a different endpoint it should be fine.

Curious to understand what is the use case :slight_smile:

I am mainly interested in using the Yjs library to implement collaborative features. Additionally, I would also like to transmit video streams via WebSocket.
