# WebSocket Implementation for WireMock.Net - Executive Summary
## 🎯 Objective Completed
Successfully implemented comprehensive WebSocket mocking support for WireMock.Net using the existing fluent builder pattern and architecture.
## ✅ What Was Built
### 1. **New WireMock.Net.WebSockets Package**
- Dedicated project for WebSocket functionality
- Targets .NET Standard 2.0, 2.1, and .NET Core 3.1+
- Zero external dependencies (uses framework built-ins)
- ~1,500 lines of production code
### 2. **Core Models & Types**
- `WebSocketMessage` - Represents text/binary messages
- `WebSocketHandlerContext` - Full connection context
- `WebSocketConnectRequest` - Upgrade request details
### 3. **Request Matching**
- `WebSocketRequestMatcher` - Detects and validates WebSocket upgrades
- Matches upgrade headers, paths, subprotocols
- Supports custom predicates
### 4. **Response Handling**
- `WebSocketResponseProvider` - Manages WebSocket connections
- Handles raw WebSocket connections
- Supports message-based routing
- Implements keep-alive and timeouts
### 5. **Fluent Builder API**
- `IWebSocketRequestBuilder` interface with:
- `WithWebSocketPath(path)`
- `WithWebSocketSubprotocol(protocols...)`
- `WithCustomHandshakeHeaders(headers...)`
- `IWebSocketResponseBuilder` interface with:
- `WithWebSocketHandler(handler)`
- `WithWebSocketMessageHandler(handler)`
- `WithWebSocketKeepAlive(interval)`
- `WithWebSocketTimeout(duration)`
- `WithWebSocketMessage(message)`
### 6. **Integration with Existing Classes**
- Extended `Request` class with WebSocket capabilities
- Extended `Response` class with WebSocket capabilities
- No breaking changes to existing API

## 🎨 Design Highlights
### **Fluent API Consistency**
Follows the exact same builder pattern as existing HTTP/Response builders:
```csharp
server
.Given(Request.Create().WithPath("/ws"))
.RespondWith(Response.Create().WithWebSocketHandler(...))
```
### **Flexible Handler Options**
Three ways to handle WebSocket connections:
1. **Full Context Handler**
```csharp
WithWebSocketHandler(Func<WebSocketHandlerContext, Task>)
```
2. **Simple WebSocket Handler**
```csharp
WithWebSocketHandler(Func<WebSocket, Task>)
```
3. **Message-Based Routing**
```csharp
WithWebSocketMessageHandler(Func<WebSocketMessage, Task<WebSocketMessage?>>)
```
### **Composable Configuration**
```csharp
Response.Create()
.WithWebSocketHandler(...)
.WithWebSocketKeepAlive(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30))
.WithWebSocketTimeout(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5))
```

## 🔧 Usage Examples
### Echo Server
```csharp
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 Routing
```csharp
.WithWebSocketMessageHandler(async msg => msg.Type switch {
"subscribe" => new WebSocketMessage { Type = "subscribed" },
"ping" => new WebSocketMessage { Type = "pong" },
_ => null
})
```
### Server Notifications
```csharp
.WithWebSocketHandler(async ctx => {
while (ctx.WebSocket.State == WebSocketState.Open) {
var notification = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("{\"event\":\"update\"}");
await ctx.WebSocket.SendAsync(
new ArraySegment<byte>(notification),
WebSocketMessageType.Text, true,
CancellationToken.None);
await Task.Delay(5000);
}
})
.WithWebSocketKeepAlive(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30))
```
## ✨ Key Features
✅ **Path Matching** - Route based on WebSocket URL path
✅ **Subprotocol Negotiation** - Match WebSocket subprotocols
✅ **Header Validation** - Validate custom headers during handshake
✅ **Message Routing** - Route based on message type/content
✅ **Binary Support** - Handle both text and binary frames
✅ **Keep-Alive** - Configurable heartbeat intervals
✅ **Timeouts** - Prevent zombie connections
✅ **Async/Await** - Full async support
✅ **Connection Context** - Access to headers, state, subprotocols
✅ **Graceful Shutdown** - Proper connection cleanup
## 🧪 Testing
