Web socket endpoint for Event Hubs

This project provides a way to connect to send messages to an Azure Event Hub using the HTML 5 WebSocket API.

Introduction

This project depends on .NET Core, which can be found here.

The CoreServer project acts as a proxy for Azure Event Hubs. The client (HTML5 WebSocket) connects to the CoreServer, sends authentication information, then the server sends the messages received from the client to the event hub.

Getting Started

The project can be built by navigating to \CoreServer\ and running dotnet build or the project can be built in Visual Studio.

Commands

• Authenticate - 'A' - A<ConnectionString> - AEndpoint=...
• Send - 'S' - S<Message> - SHello, world!

Todo

• Finish receive command.
• Persistent commands - Add a command that tells the server to keep using the same command for each subsequent message received from the client.

How to use the browser client.

The client sends commands to the server, then the server executes those commands.

1. Connect to the web socket server. In Javascript: var socket = new WebSocket()
2. Send the authenticate command. A<connectionString>
3. Send a message SHello
4. Check that the message was received by the event hub.
