Features

  • Connecting to and serving WebSockets from command line.
  • Executing external program and making it communicate to WebSocket using stdin/stdout.
  • Text and binary modes, converting between lines (or null-terminated records) and messages.
  • Inetd mode, UNIX sockets (including abstract namespaced on Linux).
  • Integration with Nginx using TCP or UNIX sockets.
  • Directly using unauthenticated SOCKS5 servers for connecting to WebSockets and listening WebSocket connection.
  • Auto-reconnect and connection-reuse modes.
  • Linux, Windows and Mac support, with pre-built executables.
  • Low-level WebSocket clients and servers with overridable underlying transport connection, e.g. calling external program to serve as a transport for websocat (for SSL, proxying, etc.).

Installation

There are multiple options for installing WebSocat. From easy to hard:

Fedora

Copr: sudo dnf copr enable atim/websocat -y && sudo dnf install websocat

FreeBSD

pkg install websocat

Debian / Ubuntu

  • Download a pre-build executable from GitHub releases.
  • Websocat is not yet officially packaged for Debian. Some older versions of Websocat may also have Debian package files available on Github releases.

macOS

Homebrew: brew install websocat

MacPorts: sudo port install websocat

From source

  • Install the Rust toolchain and do cargo install --features=ssl websocat. If something fails with a -sys crate, try without --features=ssl;
  • Build Websocat from source code (see below), then move target/release/websocat somewhere to the PATH.

Pre-built binaries

Pre-built binaries for Linux (usual and musl), Windows, OS X and Android are available on the releases page.

Building from source code

  1. Install the Rust toolchain. Note that Websocat v1 (i.e. the current stable version) may fail to support too new Rust due to its old dependencies which can be broken by e.g. this.
  2. cargo build --release --features=ssl.
  3. Find the executable somewhere under target/, e.g. in target/release/websocat.

Rust versions

Websocat versions Minimal Rust version Maximal Rust version
1.9 - 1.11 1.46 maybe 1.63
1.6 - 1.8 1.34 maybe 1.63
1.3 - 1.5 1.31 1.47?
1.2 1.28 1.47?
1.0-1.1 1.23 1.47?
1.2 ? ?

Note that building with legacy Rust version (e.g. 1.46) may require manually copying Cargo.lock.legacy to Cargo.lock prior to the building.

Early non-async versions of Websocat should be buildable by even older rustc.

Note that old versions of Websocat may misbehave if built by Rust 1.48 or later due to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/71274/.

It may be not a good idea to build v1.x line of Websocat with Rust 1.64 due to [IP address representation refactor]. It may expose previously hidden undefined behaviour in legacy dependencies. (In practice, it seems to just work though - but a lot of time passed since I checked Websocat properly and in detail).

SSL on Android

websocat's wss:// may fail on Android. As a workaround, download certificate bundle, for example, from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and specify it explicitly:

SSL_CERT_FILE=cacert.pem /data/local/tmp/websocat wss://echo.websocket.org

Or just use --insecure option.

Documentation

Basic usage examples are provided at the top of this README and in --help message. More tricks are described in moreexamples.md.

There is a list of all address types and overlays.

websocat 1.13.0
Vitaly "_Vi" Shukela <[email protected]>
Command-line client for web sockets, like netcat/curl/socat for ws://.

USAGE:
    websocat ws://URL | wss://URL               (simple client)
    websocat -s port                            (simple server)

        --stdout-announce-listening-ports        [A] Print a line to stdout for each port being listened
        --async-stdio
            [A] On UNIX, set stdin and stdout to nonblocking mode instead of spawning a thread. This should improve
            performance, but may break other programs running on the same console.
        --compress-deflate
            [A] Compress data coming to a WebSocket using deflate method. Affects only binary WebSocket messages.

        --compress-gzip
            [A] Compress data coming to a WebSocket using gzip method. Affects only binary WebSocket messages.

        --compress-zlib
            [A] Compress data coming to a WebSocket using zlib method. Affects only binary WebSocket messages.

        --crypto-reverse
            [A] Swap encryption and decryption operations in `crypto:` specifier - encrypt on read, decrypto on write.

        --dump-spec                              [A] Instead of running, dump the specifiers representation to stdout
    -e, --set-environment
            Set WEBSOCAT_* environment variables when doing exec:/cmd:/sh-c:
            Currently it's WEBSOCAT_URI and WEBSOCAT_CLIENT for
            request URI and client address (if TCP)
            Beware of ShellShock or similar security problems.
    -E, --exit-on-eof                            Close a data transfer direction if the other one reached EOF
        --foreachmsg-wait-read                   [A] Wait for reading to finish before closing foreachmsg:'s peer
        --jsonrpc

            parameters, possibly automatically wrapped in [].
        --jsonrpc-omit-jsonrpc                   [A] Omit `jsonrpc` field when using `--jsonrpc`, e.g. for Chromium
        --just-generate-key                      [A] Just a Sec-WebSocket-Key value without running main Websocat
        --lengthprefixed-little-endian
            [A] Use little-endian framing headers instead of big-endian for `lengthprefixed:` overlay.

        --lengthprefixed-skip-read-direction
            [A] Only affect one direction of the `lengthprefixed:` overlay, bypass tranformation for the other one.

        --lengthprefixed-skip-write-direction
            [A] Only affect one direction of the `lengthprefixed:` overlay, bypass tranformation for the other one.

        --linemode-strip-newlines
            [A] Don't include trailing \n or \r\n coming from streams in WebSocket messages

    -0, --null-terminated                        Use \0 instead of \n for linemode
        --no-line                                [A] Don't automatically insert line-to-message transformation
        --no-exit-on-zeromsg
            [A] Don't exit when encountered a zero message. Zero messages are used internally in Websocat, so it may
            fail to close connection at all.
        --no-fixups
            [A] Don't perform automatic command-line fixups. May destabilize websocat operation. Use --dump-spec without
            --no-fixups to discover what is being inserted automatically and read the full manual about Websocat
            internal workings.

ARGS:
    <addr1>    In simple mode, WebSocket URL to connect. In advanced mode first address (there are many kinds of
               addresses) to use. See --help=types for info about address types. If this is an address for
               listening, it will try serving multiple connections.
    <addr2>    In advanced mode, second address to connect. If this is an address for listening, it will accept only
               one connection.


Basic examples:
  Command-line websocket client:
    websocat ws://ws.vi-server.org/mirror/
    
  WebSocket server
    websocat -s 8080
    
  WebSocket-to-TCP proxy:
    websocat --binary ws-l:127.0.0.1:8080 tcp:127.0.0.1:5678

Some notes

  • IPv6 is supported, surround your IP in square brackets or use it as is, depending on context.
  • Web socket usage is not obligatory, you can use any specs on both sides.
  • Typically one line in binary stream correspond to one WebSocket text message. This is adjustable with options.

Limitations

  • It only connects (or serves) HTTP/1. RFC 8441 or RFC 9220 are not currently supported.
  • It is not convenient when text and binary WebSocket messages are mixed. This affects mirror: specifier, making it a bit different from ws://echo.websocket.org. There are --binary-prefix, --text-prefix and --base64 options to handle mixture of binary and text.
  • Current version of Websocat don't receive notification about closed sockets. This makes serving without -E or -u options or in backpressure scenarios prone to socket leak.
  • Readline is not integrated. Users are advices to wrap websocat using rlwrap tool for more convenient CLI.
  • Build process of current version of Websocat is not properly automated and is fragile.
