Method Detail

decodeFrame

void decodeFrame(Framedata inputFrame)
          throws InvalidDataException

Decode a frame with a extension specific algorithm. The algorithm is subject to be implemented by the specific extension. The resulting frame will be used in the application

Parameters:

inputFrame - the frame, which has do be decoded to be used in the application

Throws:

InvalidDataException - Throw InvalidDataException if the received frame is not correctly implemented by the other endpoint or there are other protocol errors/decoding errors

Since:

1.3.5

encodeFrame

void encodeFrame(Framedata inputFrame)

Encode a frame with a extension specific algorithm. The algorithm is subject to be implemented by the specific extension. The resulting frame will be send to the other endpoint.

Parameters:

inputFrame - the frame, which has do be encoded to be used on the other endpoint

Since:

1.3.5

acceptProvidedExtensionAsServer

boolean acceptProvidedExtensionAsServer(String inputExtensionHeader)

Check if the received Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header field contains a offer for the specific extension if the endpoint is in the role of a server

Parameters:

inputExtensionHeader - the received Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header field offered by the other endpoint

Returns:

true, if the offer does fit to this specific extension

Since:

1.3.5

acceptProvidedExtensionAsClient

boolean acceptProvidedExtensionAsClient(String inputExtensionHeader)

Check if the received Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header field contains a offer for the specific extension if the endpoint is in the role of a client

Parameters:

inputExtensionHeader - the received Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header field offered by the other endpoint

Returns:

true, if the offer does fit to this specific extension

Since:

1.3.5

isFrameValid

void isFrameValid(Framedata inputFrame)
           throws InvalidDataException

Check if the received frame is correctly implemented by the other endpoint and there are no specification errors (like wrongly set RSV)

Parameters:

inputFrame - the received frame

Throws:

InvalidDataException - Throw InvalidDataException if the received frame is not correctly implementing the specification for the specific extension

Since:

1.3.5

getProvidedExtensionAsClient

String getProvidedExtensionAsClient()

Return the specific Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header offer for this extension if the endpoint is in the role of a client. If the extension returns an empty string (""), the offer will not be included in the handshake.

Returns:

the specific Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header for this extension

Since:

1.3.5

getProvidedExtensionAsServer

String getProvidedExtensionAsServer()

Return the specific Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header offer for this extension if the endpoint is in the role of a server. If the extension returns an empty string (""), the offer will not be included in the handshake.

Returns:

the specific Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header for this extension

Since:

1.3.5

copyInstance

IExtension copyInstance()

Extensions must only be by one websocket at all. To prevent extensions to be used more than once the Websocket implementation should call this method in order to create a new usable version of a given extension instance.
The copy can be safely used in conjunction with a new websocket connection.

Returns:

a copy of the extension

Since:

1.3.5

reset

void reset()

Cleaning up internal stats when the draft gets reset.

Since:

1.3.5

toString

String toString()

Return a string which should contain the class name as well as additional information about the current configurations for this extension (DEBUG purposes)

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string containing the class name as well as additional information

Since:

1.3.5
