I wrote a simple python client: $ cat ws-test.py import os from websocket import create_connection
eiid=os.getenv("EIID") token=os.getenv("BEARER_TOKEN") header="Authorization: Bearer %s" % token ws = create_connection("ws://localhost:9000/ws-connect/%s" % eiid, header=[header]) while True: x = ws.recv() print(x) And used it with my server. It does not disconnect and correctly responds to all messages sent by the server. So that rules out problems with the akka-http-based server. it would appear that the issue is with the akka-http client (whose code I got from this web page: > http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.7/scala/http/client-side/websocket-support.html#websocketclientflow > > <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.7/scala/http/client-side/websocket-support.html#websocketclientflow> Is there some reason why this code does not work? As mentioned previously, the code connects, retrieves and displays one message sent by the server just after connection, and then promptly disconnects the websocket connection. Are there known issues with client-side web socket support in 2.4.7? — Eric -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
