TCP Socket to Websocket?

Question

There are plenty of websocket -> socket wrappers around there (like websockify) but is there an opposite available out there? Specifically, I want to be able to connect to a TCP

Answer 1

I am not sure what u were looking for but in case that helps someone in the future I will write what I did to solve my problem.

My problem: I wanted to be able to host noVNC on my web application's server and I wanted non websocket vnc servers to be able to understand it without using websockify.

My solution: I used ws-tcp-bridge node.js module to bridge the websocket port<--lport> where the noVNC client would connect to with the vnc tcp server's host.

Example: This happens by running the following command from the vncserver's machine:

ws-tcp-bridge --method=ws2tcp --lport=5555 --rhost=127.0.0.1:5902

That way I was able to host a non websocket vncserver at port 5902 and connect with it via noVNC at port 5555.

Haven't tested this very much but works very well with x11vnc vnc server.
