WebSockets

Legacy (originOS). In the OSL CLI use the ws package for WebSocket connections. These pages are kept for reference.

A WebSocket is opened by calling .newWebsocket() on a ws:// or wss:// URL, which returns a connection id. The remaining methods are called on that id:

Method	Purpose
.newWebsocket()	Open a connection, returns its id
.wsOpen()	Whether the connection is open
.wsSend(msg)	Send a message
.wsHasnew()	Whether unread messages are queued
.wsGetcount()	Number of queued messages
.wsGetnext()	Pop and return the next message
.wsClose()	Close the connection

Incoming messages are polled each frame with .wsHasnew() / .wsGetnext() rather than delivered through a callback.
