Websocket File Downloading

I made a quick fork of Xianbei233's test project to see if i can push files to a lockeddown client over websockets, small files seem to work and big files i haven't tested yet.

changes i made:

• Translated to english
• used the secure websocket example to make this work over https
• changed port 8989 to 443 since it will be the only server i'll be hosting

Getting started:

client:

Upload the contents of _client to a capable webserver over https.

edit ajax.js and change the const ws = new WebSocket("wss://HOSTNAMEHERE:443"); to your domain name

Point the browser to file.html

server:

clone my repo git clone https://github.com/SEPPDROID/websocket-FileTransfer.git

jump to the folder cd websocket-FileTransfer/

like all nodeprojects just execute npm npm install

jump to the src folder cd src

but wait! we need a domain, cert & a key for secure support. you can also use self signed certificates but i reccommend certbot and a example can be found below

jump to the cert folder cd sec_certs/

and link (or copy) your fullchain.pem and privkey.pem

then go back to the src folder (with cd ..) and launch the node app by executing node server.js

tip use npm forever to make it a background process or service

certbot:

install certbot

then execute the certonly tag w/ the command sudo certbot certonly --standalone --preferred-challenges http -d EXAMPLE.DOMAIN.COM

your fullchain.pem and privkey.pem will be available at

/etc/letsencrypt/live/EXAMPLE.DOMAIN.COM/fullchain.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/EXAMPLE.DOMAIN.COM/privkey.pem
