To send a message to a socket.io WebSocket server from the command line in Windows 10, you can use a tool like curl
or wscat
. Here's how you can do it:
Using curl
:
- Open a command prompt.
- Install
curl
if you haven't already installed it. - Use the following command to send a POST request with the message to your socket.io server:shell
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"message\": \"Your message here\"}" http://your-socket-io-server-url
Using wscat
:
- Open a command prompt.
- Install
wscat
if you haven't already installed it (you can install it globally usingnpm install -g wscat
). - Use the following command to establish a WebSocket connection and send a message to your socket.io server:shell
wscat -c ws://your-socket-io-server-url -x "{\"event\":\"your-event\",\"data\":\"Your message here\"}"
Replace your-socket-io-server-url
with the URL of your socket.io server, and customize the message/event according to your specific use case.
Using either curl
or wscat
, you can send a message to your socket.io WebSocket server from the command line in Windows 10.
