<span class="target" id="module-tornado.websocket"></span><p>Implementation of the WebSocket protocol.</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/">WebSockets</a> allow for bidirectional
communication between the browser and server.</p>
<p>WebSockets are supported in the current versions of all major browsers,
although older versions that do not support WebSockets are still in use
(refer to <a class="reference external" href="http://caniuse.com/websockets">http://caniuse.com/websockets</a> for details).</p>
<p>This module implements the final version of the WebSocket protocol as
defined in <a class="reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455">RFC 6455</a>.  Certain
browser versions (notably Safari 5.x) implemented an earlier draft of
the protocol (known as &#8220;draft 76&#8221;) and are not compatible with this module.</p>
<div class="versionchanged">
<p><span class="versionmodified">Changed in version 4.0: </span>Removed support for the draft 76 protocol version.</p>

<dd><p>Subclass this class to create a basic WebSocket handler.</p>
<p>Override <a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.on_message" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.on_message"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_message</span></code></a> to handle incoming messages, and use
<a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.write_message" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.write_message"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">write_message</span></code></a> to send messages to the client. You can also
override <a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.open" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.open"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">open</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.on_close" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.on_close"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_close</span></code></a> to handle opened and closed
connections.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference external" href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/">http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/</a> for details on the
JavaScript interface.  The protocol is specified at
<a class="reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455">http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455</a>.</p>
<p>Here is an example WebSocket handler that echos back all received messages
back to the client:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">EchoWebSocket</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">tornado</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">websocket</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">WebSocketHandler</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">open</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span>
        <span class="nb">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;WebSocket opened&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>

    <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">on_message</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">message</span><span class="p">):</span>
        <span class="bp">self</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">write_message</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="sa">u</span><span class="s2">&quot;You said: &quot;</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">message</span><span class="p">)</span>

    <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">on_close</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span>
        <span class="nb">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;WebSocket closed&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>WebSockets are not standard HTTP connections. The &#8220;handshake&#8221; is
HTTP, but after the handshake, the protocol is
message-based. Consequently, most of the Tornado HTTP facilities
are not available in handlers of this type. The only communication
methods available to you are <a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.write_message" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.write_message"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">write_message()</span></code></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.ping" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.ping"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">ping()</span></code></a>, and
<a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.close" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.close"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">close()</span></code></a>. Likewise, your request handler class should implement
<a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.open" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.open"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">open()</span></code></a> method rather than <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get()</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">post()</span></code>.</p>
<p>If you map the handler above to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/websocket</span></code> in your application, you can
invoke it in JavaScript with:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">var</span> <span class="n">ws</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">new</span> <span class="n">WebSocket</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;ws://localhost:8888/websocket&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="n">ws</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">onopen</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">function</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
   <span class="n">ws</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">send</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;Hello, world&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">};</span>
<span class="n">ws</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">onmessage</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">function</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">evt</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
   <span class="n">alert</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">evt</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">data</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">};</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This script pops up an alert box that says &#8220;You said: Hello, world&#8221;.</p>
<p>Web browsers allow any site to open a websocket connection to any other,
instead of using the same-origin policy that governs other network
access from javascript.  This can be surprising and is a potential
security hole, so since Tornado 4.0 <a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">WebSocketHandler</span></code></a> requires
applications that wish to receive cross-origin websockets to opt in
by overriding the <a class="reference internal" href="#tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.check_origin" title="tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler.check_origin"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">check_origin</span></code></a> method (see that
method&#8217;s docs for details).  Failure to do so is the most likely
cause of 403 errors when making a websocket connection.</p>
<p>When using a secure websocket connection (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">wss://</span></code>) with a self-signed
certificate, the connection from a browser may fail because it wants
to show the &#8220;accept this certificate&#8221; dialog but has nowhere to show it.
You must first visit a regular HTML page using the same certificate
to accept it before the websocket connection will succeed.</p>
