Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1. Overview

This module provides a websocket client implementation to interact with external systems, similar to http client. It is not for routing SIP traffic.

It relies on libwebsockets library (https://libwebsockets.org/).

2. Dependencies

2.1. Kamailio Modules

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

  • none.

2.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following libraries or applications must be installed before running Kamailio with this module loaded:

  • libwebsockets - probably v2.0 or newer.

3. Parameters

3.1. protocol (str)

The websocket sub-protocol.

Default value is "kmsg".

Example 1.1. Set protocol parameter

...
modparam("lwsc", "protocol", "ksr")
...

3.2. timeout_init (int)

The interval in microseconds to wait for websocket connection to be initialized.

Default value is 2000000 (2 seconds).

Example 1.2. Set timeout_init parameter

...
modparam("lwsc", "timeout_init", 4000000)
...

3.3. timeout_read (int)

The interval in microseconds to wait for the response of the lwsc_request() group of functions.

Default value is 2000000 (2 seconds).

Example 1.3. Set timeout_read parameter

...
modparam("lwsc", "timeout_init", 1000000)
...

3.4. verbosity (int)

Control the verbosity of debug messages on libwebsockets events, higher value means more debug messages. It has to be a positive number, currently 2 or higher results in maximum verbosity.

Default value is 0.

Example 1.4. Set verbosity parameter

...
modparam("lwsc", "verbosity", 1)
...

4. Functions

4.1.  lwsc_notify(wsurl, data)

Send data via websockets to the address specified by wsurl. No response is expected. Transmission is not guaranteed (e.g., cannot connect to target).

The parameters are:

  • wsurl - websocket url

  • data - what to send

The parameters can contain pseudo-variables.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.5. lwsc_notify usage

...
    jwt_notify("ws://10.1.1.10:8080/log",
        "caller=$fU;callee=$tU;callid=$ci");
...

4.2.  lwsc_notify_proto(wsurl, wsproto, data)

Send data via websockets to the address specified by wsurl, providing websocket protocol. No response is expected. Transmission is not guaranteed (e.g., cannot connect to target).

The parameters are:

  • wsurl - websocket url

  • wsproto - websocket protocol

  • data - what to send

The parameters can contain pseudo-variables.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.6. lwsc_notify_proto usage

...
    jwt_notify_proto("ws://10.1.1.10:8080/log", "kmsg"
        "caller=$fU;callee=$tU;callid=$ci");
...

4.3.  lwsc_request(wsurl, data)

Send data via websockets to the address specified by wsurl, a response is expected and made available in $lwsc(rdata).

The parameters are:

  • wsurl - websocket url

  • data - what to send

The parameters can contain pseudo-variables.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.7. lwsc_request usage

...
    jwt_request("ws://10.1.1.10:8080/log",
        "caller=$fU;callee=$tU;srcip=$si");
...

4.4.  lwsc_request_proto(wsurl, wsproto, data)

Send data via websockets to the address specified by wsurl, providing websocket protocol. A response is expected and made available in $lwsc(rdata).

The parameters are:

  • wsurl - websocket url

  • wsproto - websocket protocol

  • data - what to send

The parameters can contain pseudo-variables.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

Example 1.8. lwsc_request_proto usage

...
    jwt_request_proto("ws://10.1.1.10:8080/log", "kmsg",
        "caller=$fU;callee=$tU;srcip=$si");
...

5. Variables

5.1.  $lwsc(key)

Get the values and attributes after using LWSC functions.

The key can be:

  • rdata - the response retrieved after lwsc_request().

  • status - the status of verification after a failed jwt_verify().

Example 1.9. $lwsc(name) usage

...
  jwt_request("ws://10.1.1.10:8080/log",
        "caller=$fU;callee=$tU;srcip=$si");
  xinfo("jwt is: $lwsc(rdata)");
...
