Simple Websocket Client with Command Line Arguments
Turns out a lot of people want to easily send a single message and recieve a single response from a websocket server. This makes it easy to just send the message, get the response, and disconnect.
APIs that use websocket connections, but are being used within a script that runs and exists. Languages that don't have built in libraries for handling connections to a websocket server.
You need NodeJS installed, but after that it is simple.
npm install
config.json contains server and port information
node app.js message or node app.js 'message'
You can also override the connection information in config.json by supplying the server info in ip:port format
node app.js 'message' localhost:9454
Use just like any terminal Command
node app.js message > results.txt
