Elixir sockets made decent
==========================
This library wraps `gen_tcp`, `gen_udp` and `gen_sctp`, `ssl` and implements
websockets, it also implements smart garbage collection (if sockets aren't
referenced anywhere, they are closed).
Examples
--------
```elixir
defmodule HTTP do
def get(uri) when is_binary(uri) or is_list(uri) do
get(URI.parse(uri))
end
def get(URI.Info[host: host, port: port, path: path]) do
sock = Socket.TCP.connect! host, port, packet: :line
sock |> Socket.Stream.send! "GET #{path || "/"} HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: #{host}\r\n\r\n"
[_, code, text] = Regex.run %r"HTTP/1.1 (.*?) (.*?)\s*$", sock |> Socket.Stream.recv!
headers = headers([], sock) |> Enum.into(%{})
sock |> Socket.packet! :raw
body = sock |> Socket.Stream.recv!(binary_to_integer(headers["Content-Length"]))
{ { binary_to_integer(code), text }, headers, body }
end
defp headers(acc, sock) do
case sock |> Socket.Stream.recv! do
"\r\n" ->
acc
line ->
[_, name, value] = Regex.run %r/^(.*?):\s*(.*?)\s*$/, line
headers([{ name, value } | acc], sock)
end
end
end
```
Connecting to a Websocket
-------------------------
```elixir
defmodule Ws do
def simple_ws_conn() do
{:ok, sock} = Socket.Web.connect("echo.websocket.org")
sock |> Socket.Web.send({:text, "hello there"}) # you can also send binary using {:binary, "hello there"})
{:ok, data} = sock |> Socket.Web.recv
IO.inspect data
end
end
```
