Description: SockJS-tornado server
=====================

SockJS-tornado is a Python server side counterpart of `SockJS-client browser library <https://github.com/sockjs/sockjs-client>`_
running on top of `Tornado <http://tornadoweb.org>`_ framework.

Simplified echo SockJS server could look more or less like::

from tornado import web, ioloop
from sockjs.tornado import SockJSRouter, SockJSConnection

class EchoConnection(SockJSConnection):
def on_message(self, msg):
self.send(msg)

if __name__ == '__main__':
EchoRouter = SockJSRouter(EchoConnection, '/echo')

app = web.Application(EchoRouter.urls)
app.listen(9999)
ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()

(Take look at `examples <https://github.com/MrJoes/sockjs-tornado/tree/master/examples>`_ for a complete version).

SockJS-tornado API
------------------

SockJS provides slightly different API than ``tornado.websocket``. Main differences are:

1. Depending on transport, actual client connection might or might not be there. So, there is no _self.request_ and
other ``tornado.web.RequestHandler`` properties.
2. Changed ``open`` callback name to ``on_open`` to be more consistent with other callbacks.
3. Instead of ``write_message``, all messages are sent using ``send`` method. Just in case, ``send`` in ``tornado.web.RequestHandler``
sends raw data over the connection, without encoding it.
4. There is handy ``broadcast`` function, which accepts list (or iterator) of clients and message to send.

Settings
--------

You can pass various settings to the ``SockJSRouter``, in a dictionary::

MyRouter = SockJSRouter(MyConnection, '/my', dict(disabled_transports=['websocket']))

Deployment
----------

sockjs-tornado properly works behind haproxy and it is recommended deployment approach.

Sample configuration file can be found `here <https://raw.github.com/sockjs/sockjs-node/master/examples/haproxy.cfg>`_.

If your log is full of "WARNING: Connection closed by the client", pass ``no_keep_alive`` as ``True`` to ``HTTPServer`` constructor::

HTTPServer(app, no_keep_alive=True).listen(port)

or::

app.listen(port, no_keep_alive=True)
