Hello node experts! A web socket connection to a node server sends a header with each message. I am looking for a way to forward just the message to a third-party application running on the server.
The scenario: We have a robot (for want of a better word) that is used for medical diagnosis. This robot is currently controlled by a hardware console. The console sends and receives plain text strings to an application which commands the robot. Let's call this application the Commander. Two programmers are working on creating an app that can run on an iPad (or other tablet), to replace the console. My role is to create the iPad app, my colleague has all the low-level knowledge required for controlling the robot. We have been experimenting with using a Node.js server and WebSocket to create a connection. My app sends the server the string required by the Commander application, like this: webSocketInstance.send(string) My colleague reports that the Commander application receives a message with a header like this... GET / HTTP/1.1Origin: null Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: echo-protocol Sec-WebSocket-Key: 5oLKa2EzNd9EGxAcyS72RQ== ConnecUpgrade Upgrade: Websocket Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13 Us... ... when he is expecting a string that looks like this: '040100040001' We don't want to change the Commander application, because if we do, it will no longer respond to the hardware console. We are looking for a way of stripping the header so that the Node.js application on the server can mimic the console perfectly. My question: is there a module that we can use on the server to forward just the expected string to the existing Commander application? I am fairly new to Node.js and fairly experienced with JavaScript.
