socket.io help needed

---

Hey,

i’m new to pimatic and since i study it i want to tinker around a bit with the possibilities.
For my network i want to write an application in swift which can control different things.
To get that working i’m using the socket.io api part.

It’s only a bit code:

let socket = SocketIOClient(socketURL: NSURL(string: "http://unifi.fritz.box:80/?username" + user! + "&password=" + pass!)!, options: [ .Reconnects(true), .ReconnectWait(1000), .ReconnectAttempts(3000), .ForceNew(true)])

    socket.on("connect") {data, ack in
        print("socket connected")
    }

So i was thinking i should get a socket connected but that don’t happen.

Thinking about i misunderstood something about the protocol
Maybe someone can help me

regards
Moritz

edit:

pls move to development seems like it switched the topic somehow

so found out that i need to call a function to connect … silly me.
But login is not working, when i disable “auth” then it is working so seems like something in my url is wrong ? any idea ?

@developer
Pls. could anyone of the Dev group have a look. Thx !!

@moritz31 Please have a look at https://pimatic.org/guide/api/ which contains an example for using the socket.io-client in javascript (see section websocket API). From there you should be able to transfrom the code to Swift (?). Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Swift. Maybe some other @developer can help

@moritz31 Did you have a look at https://github.com/nuclearace/socket.io-client-swift-example?

@mwittig @michbeck100
yeah i looked at all the stuff basically all is working expected login
With login disable i can do all things.
Server is requesting this url:

LOG SocketEngine: Starting engine. Server: http://unifi:80/?username=moritz&password=XXXXXX

should be correct or?

The answer is always
LOG SocketIOClient: Handling event: error with data: (
“Authentication error”
)

edit: here is the url for testuser:
http://unifi:80/?username=test&password=test
when i put that in browser i got asked for username and password

do i need to adjust namespace or path to socket.io maybe ?

@moritz31 did you try http://moritz:XXXXXX@unifi:80/

This might help too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication and https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-swift/search?utf8=✓&q=authorization (just look at the issues)

@michbeck100 you are my hero in the morning

the .ConnectParam option solved my login issue,
Would it be possible to make sections in the api user guide for other languages, so that others who try the socket.io protocol can find a example there ?

if you like that idea i can maybe write something for that
