Re: tail file and websocket stream

It does seem to be working for me:

$ websocat ws://0.0.0.0:8080

line :hello
line :world
line :line 3
line :nice
line :to
line :meet
line :you
[download]

Were you expecting the log to be streamed right when you connect? The way you wrote your server, you need to send a utf8 message to the server to trigger the event. Note that I pressed enter after starting websocat.

Hope this helps!

Hi , thanks for your response. The file im tailing is /var/log/messages. When doing: `tail -f /var/log/messages \| websocat -s 172.20.4.210:8080` [download] Works good , as soon Is I connect, I begin receiving messages. Regards.	[reply] [d/l]
