I've managed to get websockets working inside a webworker using Chrome, but only for receiving data. When I try to send data I get a DOM Exception, has anyone managed to send data?
This is what I have for my web worker.
self.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
var data = e.data;
switch (data.cmd) {
case 'init':
self.postMessage("Initialising Web Workers...");
testWS();
break;
default:
self.postMessage('Unknown command: ' + data.msg);
};
}, false);
function testWS() {
var connectionAddr = "ws://localhost:8003";
var socket = new WebSocket(connectionAddr);
socket.onmessage = function(event) {
self.postMessage('Websocket : ' + event.data);
};
socket.onclose = function(event) {
};
function send(message) {
socket.send(message);
}
send("hello"); //Here is where the exception is thrown
}
