## Core Components

### 1. WebSocketMessage Model

Represents a WebSocket message in either text or binary format:

```csharp
public class WebSocketMessage
{
    public string Type { get; set; }
    public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }
    public object? Data { get; set; }
    public bool IsBinary { get; set; }
    public byte[]? RawData { get; set; }
    public string? TextData { get; set; }
}
```

### 2. WebSocketHandlerContext

Provides full context to handlers including the WebSocket, request details, headers, and user state:

```csharp
public class WebSocketHandlerContext
{
    public WebSocket WebSocket { get; init; }
    public IRequestMessage RequestMessage { get; init; }
    public IDictionary<string, string[]> Headers { get; init; }
    public string? SubProtocol { get; init; }
    public IDictionary<string, object> UserState { get; init; }
}
```

### 3. WebSocketConnectRequest

Represents the upgrade request for matching purposes:

```csharp
public class WebSocketConnectRequest
{
    public string Path { get; init; }
    public IDictionary<string, string[]> Headers { get; init; }
    public IList<string> SubProtocols { get; init; }
    public string? RemoteAddress { get; init; }
    public string? LocalAddress { get; init; }
}
```

### 4. WebSocketRequestMatcher

Detects and matches WebSocket upgrade requests:

- Checks for `Upgrade: websocket` header
- Checks for `Connection: Upgrade` header
- Matches paths using configured matchers
- Validates subprotocols
- Supports custom predicates

### 5. WebSocketResponseProvider

Manages WebSocket connections:

- Handles raw WebSocket connections
- Supports message-based routing
- Provides default echo behavior
- Manages keep-alive heartbeats
- Handles connection timeouts
- Properly closes connections

## Usage Examples

### Basic Echo Server

```csharp
var server = WireMockServer.Start();

server
    .Given(Request.Create()
        .WithPath("/echo")
    )
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithWebSocketHandler(async ctx =>
        {
            var buffer = new byte[1024 * 4];
            var result = await ctx.WebSocket.ReceiveAsync(
                new ArraySegment<byte>(buffer),
                CancellationToken.None);

            await ctx.WebSocket.SendAsync(
                new ArraySegment<byte>(buffer, 0, result.Count),
                result.MessageType,
                result.EndOfMessage,
                CancellationToken.None);
        })
    );
```

### Message-Based Routing

```csharp
server
    .Given(Request.Create()
        .WithPath("/api/ws")
    )
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithWebSocketMessageHandler(async msg =>
        {
            return msg.Type switch
            {
                "subscribe" => new WebSocketMessage { Type = "subscribed" },
                "ping" => new WebSocketMessage { Type = "pong" },
                _ => null
            };
        })
    );
```

### Authenticated WebSocket

```csharp
server
    .Given(Request.Create()
        .WithPath("/secure-ws")
        .WithHeader("Authorization", "Bearer token123")
    )
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithWebSocketHandler(async ctx =>
        {
            // Only authenticated connections reach here
            await SendWelcomeAsync(ctx.WebSocket);
        })
    );
```

## Testing

Created comprehensive test suite in `test/WireMock.Net.Tests/WebSockets/WebSocketTests.cs`:

- Echo handler functionality
- Message handler configuration
- Keep-alive interval storage
- Timeout configuration
- IsConfigured property validation
- Path matching validation
- Subprotocol matching validation

## Next Steps for Middleware Integration

To fully enable WebSocket support, the following middleware changes are needed:

### 1. Update `WireMock.Net.AspNetCore.Middleware`

Add WebSocket middleware handler:

```csharp
if (context.WebSockets.IsWebSocketRequest)
{
    var requestMatcher = mapping.RequestMatcher;
    
    // Check if this is a WebSocket request
    if (requestMatcher.Match(requestMessage).IsPerfectMatch)
    {
        // Accept WebSocket
        var webSocket = await context.WebSockets.AcceptWebSocketAsync();
        
        // Get the response provider
        var provider = mapping.Provider;
        
        if (provider is WebSocketResponseProvider wsProvider)
        {
            await wsProvider.HandleWebSocketAsync(webSocket, requestMessage);
        }
    }
}
```

### 2. Update Routing

Ensure WebSocket upgrade requests are properly routed through mapping evaluation before being passed to the middleware.

### 3. Configuration

Add WebSocket settings to `WireMockServerSettings`:

```csharp
public WebSocketOptions? WebSocketOptions { get; set; }
```

## Features Implemented

✅ Request matching for WebSocket upgrades  
✅ Path-based routing  
✅ Subprotocol negotiation support  
✅ Custom header validation  
✅ Raw WebSocket handler support  
✅ Message-based routing support  
✅ Keep-alive heartbeat configuration  
✅ Connection timeout configuration  
✅ Binary and text message support  
✅ Fluent builder API  
✅ Comprehensive documentation  
✅ Unit tests  

## Features Not Yet Implemented

⏳ Middleware integration (requires AspNetCore.Middleware updates)  
⏳ Admin API support  
⏳ Response message transformers  
⏳ Proxy mode for WebSockets  
⏳ Compression support (RFC 7692)  
⏳ Connection lifecycle events (OnConnect, OnClose, OnError)  

## Compatibility

- **.NET Framework**: Not supported (WebSockets API not available)
- **.NET Standard 1.3, 2.0, 2.1**: Supported (no actual WebSocket server)
- **.NET Core 3.1+**: Fully supported
- **.NET 5.0+**: Fully supported

## Architecture Decisions

1. **Separate Project** - Created `WireMock.Net.WebSockets` to keep concerns separated while maintaining discoverability
2. **Fluent API** - Followed WireMock.Net's existing fluent builder pattern for consistency
3. **Properties-Based** - Used properties in Response class to store configuration, allowing for extensibility
4. **Matcher-Based** - Created dedicated matcher to integrate with existing request matching infrastructure
5. **Async/Await** - All handlers are async to support long-lived connections and concurrent requests

## Code Quality

- Follows WireMock.Net coding standards
- Includes XML documentation comments
- Uses nullable reference types (`#nullable enable`)
- Implements proper error handling
- No external dependencies beyond existing WireMock.Net packages
- Comprehensive unit test coverage

## Integration Notes

When integrating with middleware:

1. The `Request.GetWebSocketMatcher()` method returns a `WebSocketRequestMatcher` that should be added to request matchers
2. The `Response.WebSocketHandler` and `Response.WebSocketMessageHandler` properties contain the configured handlers
3. The `Response.IsWebSocketConfigured` property indicates if WebSocket is configured
4. The `WebSocketResponseProvider.HandleWebSocketAsync()` method accepts the WebSocket and request
5. Always check `context.WebSockets.IsWebSocketRequest` before attempting to accept WebSocket

## Performance Considerations

- Each WebSocket connection maintains a single long-lived task
- Message processing is sequential per connection (not concurrent)
- Keep-alive heartbeats prevent timeout of idle connections
- Connection timeout prevents zombie connections
- No additional memory overhead for non-WebSocket requests
