webSocketTask(with:)

Creates a WebSocket task for the provided URL request.

Declaration

func webSocketTask(with request: URLRequest) -> URLSessionWebSocketTask

Parameters

  • request:

    A URL request that indicates a WebSockets endpoint with which to connect.

Discussion

You can modify the request’s properties prior to calling resume() on the task. The task uses these properties during the HTTP handshake phase.

To add custom protocols, add a header with the key Sec-WebSocket-Protocol, and a comma-separated list of protocols you want to negotiate with the server. The custom HTTP headers provided by the client remain unchanged for the handshake with the server.
