Serve
Overview

WebSocket

Plaintext#

import serve, serve/reactor
 
serveWsReactor(8080, wsHandler)

See reactor_ws.nim — "async WebSocket (RFC 6455) server on the reactor."

Over TLS (wss://)#

serveWssReactor(8443, tlsContext, wsHandler)

HTTPS and wss:// share one connection body on the reactor — see reactor_wss.nim, which notes the design directly: "one connection body for both transports."

Streaming and backpressure#

A stream producer on a WebSocket connection can pace itself, and a connection that spins without making progress gets cut rather than left to leak resources indefinitely — see reactor_stream.nim.

Conformance#

WebSocket support is checked against Autobahn-grade conformance testing — the same reference suite used to validate WebSocket implementations across languages, not an internal-only test set.
