How to use PubSub from a PHP client

[tvtop]

Hi everyone.

I have a PHP client for testing PubSub service but I can’t get it to work. Server always returns me a “400 Bad Request” response. Same example works for me in Javascript.

“Reply From Server :HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Server: awselb/2.0 Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2020 19:12:28 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 138 Connection: close”

My code is:

$host = "pubsub-edge.twitch.tv";
$ip = gethostbyname($host);
$port = 443;
$message = '{"type":"LISTEN","nonce":"tO4XRdd9RM1u88B","data":{"topics":["video-playback-by-id.92205927"],"auth_token":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"}}';
echo "Message To server :".$message;
// create socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP) or die("Could not create socket\n");
// connect to server
$result = socket_connect($socket, $ip, $port) or die("Could not connect to server\n");  
// send string to server
socket_write($socket, $message, strlen($message)) or die("Could not send data to server\n");
// get server response
$result = socket_read($socket, 1024) or die("Could not read server response\n");
echo "Reply From Server  :".$result;
// close socket
socket_close($socket);

I know “video-playback-by-id” is an undocumented topic and I shouldn’t use it, but only it’s for test and works in Javascript.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Websockets are not raw TCP, which is what you’re doing there with the socket_ calls. You’re missing the entire websocket handshake and protocol wrapping.

Thank you very much!. I’m trying to find some Websocket PHP library. Any suggestion is welcome.
