[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ and Websockets

Thu Nov 4 19:07:06 GMT 2010

I'd be very interested in this.  I haven't looked too much into it, so
I don't know what existing solutions exist.  This is what I'd like
though:
I don't need for the browser to create any queues/exchanges/bindings
so those calls are not important to me.  This should be done server
side (at least to me.)
I'd like to use it in a very text/json oriented way.  Here's how I'd
like to publish a message:

var message = new Object();
message.command = "publish";
message.queue = "myqueue";
message.exchange = "myexchange";
message.key = "mybindkey";
message.body = "hello world";

var message_json = JSON.stringify(message);

var ws = new WebSocket("ws://4.2.2.2:123");
ws.send(message_json);

Consuming:

var subscribe = new Object();
subscribe.command = "consume";
subscribe.queue = ...

ws.send(subscribe_json);

//wait for reply from server...
ws.onopen = function(event)
{
  //handle message or error here..
}

I don't need STOMP support, the websocket plugin should just require a
port for communication and delegate the commands to rabbitmq.
