WsDataUtil (WebSocket Data Util)
################################

The WsDataUtil is a lightweight, highly compatible Python module for processing WebSocket data.
The parsing, building and masking of WebSocket frames is implemented in C to increase performance.

The core of the module is the ``Frame`` and the ``StreamReader`` object as an interface to the C api.
``Frame`` serves as the result value from parsing and as the parameter for building a WebSocket frame.
A ``Frame`` is not checked for plausibility or according to the specification RFC6455.
This should be implemented later if required.

For the sake of completeness, the ``HandshakeRequest`` object is available.

Installation::

python -m pip install wsdatautil --upgrade

Connection establishment
------------------------

minimum client request::

GET / HTTP/1.1
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Key:
Sec-WebSocket-Version:

minimum server response::

HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Accept:
Sec-WebSocket-Version:

The WebSocket Key conversion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- `` can be any base64 string.
- On the server side, the static string ``258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11`` is appended to the ``.
- The result is hashed with the SHA-1 function.
- A base64 string is then created from the digest and returned as ``.
