Developer console

To help with development, debugging and testing, websocketd includes a developer console, making it easy to interact with your WebSocket endpoints without having to write JavaScript.

To enable the console, add --devconsole to the websocketd command line options.

e.g.

websocketd --port=1234 --dir=examples --devconsole

To test a WebSocket endpoint, open a web-browser and browse to its URL, replacing the ws:// URL prefix with http://.

The console allows you to connect to WebSocket endpoint, send and receive test messages.
