HttpRequest is passed a bot token and if it authenticates correctly it passes back the address of a WebSocket. This part works. The problem is when I try to connect to the WebSocket it refuses to upgrade and returns a 404. This bot token works so you should be able to test it before I request a new one. I have successfully done this with curl and others. I don't know if it's an issue with the WebSocket headers, if a specific order is required, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Test code:

#include <Core/Core.h>

using namespace Upp;

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	StdLogSetup(LOG_FILE|LOG_COUT);
	
	HttpRequest::Trace();
	WebSocket::Trace();
	
	HttpRequest req;
	req.Header("User-Agent", "MyBot (None, 0.01)");
	req.Header("Authorization", "Bot NDUwMDA3OTY3NjIyNzU4NDIx.Dezhjw.pu-t0h9mH_zYI3v_uk6dxzO-WTE");
	req.ContentType("application/json");
	
	String response = req.Url("https://discordapp.com/api/gateway/bot").Execute();
	LOG(response);
	
	String gateway = ParseJSON(response)["url"];
	LOG(gateway);
	
	WebSocket ws;
	ws.Header("User-Agent", "MyBot (None, 0.01)");
	ws.Header("Authorization", "Bot NDUwMDA3OTY3NjIyNzU4NDIx.Dezhjw.pu-t0h9mH_zYI3v_uk6dxzO-WTE");
	ws.Connect(gateway);
}

If I do this with an ordinary browser plugin to wss://gateway.discord.gg I get back:

{"t":null,"s":null,"op":10,"d":{"heartbeat_interval ":41250,"_trace":["gateway-prd-main-1hxr"]}}

but with U++ websocket I just get a 404 error. Does anyone have any idea why this connection might be failing? I confirmed that a connection to wss://echo.websocket.org actually works. Could it be something in the URL?

OK, so it successfully upgrades if I use
ws.Connect("https://gateway.discord.gg", "gateway.discord.gg", true, 443);

instead of
ws.Connect("wss://gateway.discord.gg")


The browser plugin I used appears to automatically be converting all WSS GET requests from wss:// to https:// while U++ does not. I don't see where the standards say this conversion is a conformant behavior but it's happening anyway. What would be the fix in U++ source? I could change it to:

bool WebSocket::Connect(const String& url)
{
	const char *u = url;
	bool ssl = memcmp(u, "wss", 3) == 0;
	const char *t = u;
	while(*t && *t != '?')
		if(*t++ == '/' && *t == '/') {
			u = ++t;
			break;
		}
	t = u;
	while(*u && *u != ':' && *u != '/' && *u != '?')
		u++;
	String host = String(t, u);
	int port = ssl ? 443 : 80;
	if(*u == ':')
		port = ScanInt(u + 1, &u);
	
	String uri = url;
	
	if(port == 443) {
		uri.Replace("wss://", "https://");
	}
	else if(port == 80) {
		uri.Replace("ws://", "http://");
	}
	
	return Connect(uri, host, ssl, port);
}


But I don't know if this is the "correct" conformant behavior or if the fix belongs deeper in the U++ source. I'm not a network protocol guy.

Thank you, specification seems to say the ws/wss should be replaced with http/https:

3.   The "Request-URI" part of the request MUST match the /resource
        name/ defined in Section 3 (a relative URI) or be an absolute
        http/https URI that, when parsed, has a /resource name/, /host/,
        and /port/ that match the corresponding ws/wss URI.


so the code in U++ was wrong (looks like the server the we are testing against ignores this...).

Fixed:

bool WebSocket::Connect(const String& url)
{
	const char *u = url;
	bool ssl = memcmp(u, "wss", 3) == 0;
	const char *t = u;
	while(*t && *t != '?')
		if(*t++ == '/' && *t == '/') {
			u = ++t;
			break;
		}
	t = u;
	while(*u && *u != ':' && *u != '/' && *u != '?')
		u++;
	String host = String(t, u);
	int port = ssl ? 443 : 80;
	if(*u == ':')
		port = ScanInt(u + 1, &u);
	
	return Connect(url.StartsWith("wss:") ? "https:" + url.Mid(4)
	               : url.StartsWith("ws:") ? "http:" + url.Mid(3) : url,
	               host, ssl, port);
}

Cool! Thank you, Mirek. That works for me.
