WebGL and Websocket of Unity 5 is working?

Hello, To whom it may concern.

I’d like to ask how to use “Websocket of Unity 5”.

I couldn’t connect anything to browser after making build by WebGL.

Do you know what I already knew the WebGL doesn’t support “Socket” but I thought that “Websocket-sharp” library uses “System.Net.Socket” inside of library.

Anyway, Here’s my question.
Could you let me know the built asset can connect to server or not?
Or, Can you teach me the solution for WebGL and Websockets about Unity5?

Websocket-sharp => Websocket.cs => System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient => Socket
[ Websocket.cs ]

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. private void setClientStream ()
3. {
4.   ...
5.   _tcpClient = new TcpClient (host, port);
6.   ...
7. }
8. namespace System.Net.Sockets
9. {
10.   ...
11.   public class TcpClient : IDisposable
12.   {
13.   ...
14.   public Socket Client { get; set; }
15.   ...
16.   }
17. }
18.  

If you need more information to answer this question, please let me know freely.


Thank you.

 

The package includes websocket-sharp purely for use in the Editor and on non-WebGL platforms. When you do a WebGL build, that DLL is not included in the build - it uses a jslib plugin instead which uses the browser's WebSocket support.

I think there is some sample code in the package to show how to use the plugin.

WebSockets can't be used for connecting to a browser, they can only be used for connecting to a server. If you want browser-to-browser communication without a server then you need WebRTC. You still need a server to coordinate things, but you end up with a peer-to-peer connection. I posted a plugin for that here, which works via PeerJS: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unitypeerjs-simple-webrtc-support-for-unity-webgl.310166/

 

Sorry... :-O

The question was something wrong. (I corrected it)

I want to know is "How to connect to a server and communicate with it in the WebGL Platform".

In the Editor, it connected to a server and sended/receiveed some packets . No problem.
When I built WebGL and tried in the browser, it couldn't connect to the server.

Is there any solution?

gfoot !! Thanks for answer.

 

Look in at the Javascript output in Firefox, and see if it's complaining about cross-domain requests or throwing up any other errors.

 

I guess it is not concerned with Firefox or cross-domain.

Log is below (Using websocket-sharp.dll. No problem in the Unity Editor test. Below is printed in the Firefox)

// Start Test --------------------------------------------------
LOG : Connect Try(WS://echo.websocket.org:80/)
LOG : _tcpClient = new TcpClient("WS://echo.websocket.org", 80) => RUN !!
ERROR: An exception has occured while connecting.
Closed 1006.
ERROR: An exception has occured while connecting.False
ERROR: The Websocket connection has already been closed.
// End Test --------------------------------------------------

I guess "System.Net.Sockets" problem in the WebGL with Unity5.

I'm c# programmer.

So, I want to know the other class or library or plugin or assets or ... other ways.
(No System.Net.Sockets... => no working in the WebGL)

Can WebGL with Unity5 use Websocket with c#?

 

You must not use websocket-sharp.dll in WebGL builds, it will not work. Instead you need to use Jonas's WebSocket.jslib plugin via the WebSocket.cs wrapper. Look at the echo example in the unitypackage to see how to use it.

 

Ok. I will try Jonas's WebSocket.jslib.

Thanks. gfoot.

 

Yes. I encountered the same problem and WebSocket.jslib works.
Tnx. you guys helped me a lot

 

Assuming I use the WebSocket.jslib + WebSocket.cs wrapper for the front-end, I can still use websocket-sharp for the back-end right? Or does the no .Net/.Net.Sockets rule apply to both front-end and back-end when developing for WebGL?

 

Thank you!
