Opening a SocketIO object with https results in hang

I tried using the code here: Issuing challenges through the API

I am trying to join a game and play moves in it. However, the SocketIO object hangs trying to do the SSL handshake. Has anyone else had the problem/found a solution?

Let me ping @anoek here and I will dig through come code I have to see if I have any examples.

Edit: Can you post the code you are using? Also, if you are interested we have a Slack channel for OGS development. PM me an email address and I will add you.

No problem. I am running python 3.6 with Anaconda on the Linux subsystem on Windows 10. The code I have is the following: (I am just trying to play a move in this (https://online-go.com/game/8610273) game, getting constant communication shouldnā€™t be too hard past that once I have the socket up and running) I am aware that the code will crash after the socket is established because I am missing the on_response method, but I will cross that bridge when I get there :slight_smile:

import requests

from socketIO_client import SocketIO
from subprocess import call


s = requests.Session()
ogs_link = 'http://online-go.com'

home = s.get(ogs_link + '/api')

oauth2_json = auth.json()
access_token = oauth2_json['access_token']
refresh_token = oauth2_json['refresh_token']

prof = s.get('https://online-go.com/api/v1/me/',

	if rank_value < 30:

        print("socket is connected.")
        socketIO.emit("game/connect",

When I run it, it prints out the following (which is correct) and does not halt:

When I press Ctrl+C to kill it, it prints out the following stack trace:

KeyboardInterrupt

Also, when I try to use http, it runs into a StopIteration error and crashes.

Another thing that was mentioned in the linked thread was that challenges timed out after a few seconds of being up but were otherwise fine. Is there a way around this?

(Another side note, I have reached my max new threads limit for the first day, so Iā€™m happy to respond to a PM as long as you start it)

Ok, so, this is weird. ggs.online-go.com returns a certificate for *.idviu.io, which is obviously not valid. I donā€™t know off the top of my head, but Iā€™d assume you could tell Socket.io to ignore this cert mismatch.

@anoek uhhhā€¦any idea why you have a seemingly random certificate on that endpoint?

Oh, edit, meant to add that I tested and got the same thing - so itā€™s definitely not some intermediate certificate on his connection.

Hereā€™s the cert I get back from an openssl s_client connection:

Ok, I figured out how to turn off verification (via the verify=False. This issue can be figured out at a later time, because this fix seems to work), but now there is a crash when it is starting a session, like so:

StopIteration

After some snooping, it seems that the Python SocketIO class doesnā€™t like the fact that ggs.online-go.com/socket.io only returns a ā€œREADYā€ message, and wants more information. Is there any other way to create a socketIO connection using python?

Hiya @the747beast, ggs.online-go.com isnā€™t used anymore, that was for v4, just replace that with online-go.com and you should be good to go.

Iā€™ve removed the DNS entry for that now to help thwart future confusion.

Thanks for the update, @anoek! I changed the URL to online-go.com, and I am now receiving unexpected status code (400 {"code":0,"message":"Transport unknown"}) when I try to connect. The version of socketio I am using is compatible with 1.x; should I be using a version compatible with 0.9?

Nope 1.x is good, weā€™re on 1.4 or 1.5 iirc - though only the websocket transport is supported

@anoek I moved over to Websocket so that I could be sure I was using that (I think before SocketIO was using XHS_PollingTransport, couldnā€™t get it to use websockets). I am able to contact the online-go.com server, but it responds with a 301 if I try to use ws:// and a 502 if I try and use wss://. Here is my code, and the output:

def on_message(ws, message):
    print("Hi again!")

def on_error(ws, error):
    print("ERROR: ", error)

def on_close(ws):
    print("Goodbye!")

def on_open(ws):
    print("Hello!")

websocket.enableTrace(True)
ws = websocket.WebSocketApp("ws://online-go.com",
                          on_message = on_message,
                          on_error = on_error,
                          on_close = on_close)
ws.on_open = on_open

Hopefully once I can get this connection going it can all go smoothly.

Edit: I was able to get the same behavior when running SocketIO with Websockets only.

I havenā€™t used the python socket.io libraries so not sure, hereā€™s the node code that works if itā€™s any help: https://github.com/online-go/gtp2ogs/blob/devel/gtp2ogs.js#L897-L905

For your WebSocket implementation, your problem is that ws is equivalent to http, so youā€™re getting a 301 sending you to https (which is analogous to wss). You noticed that if you do that youā€™ll get a 502 because you didnā€™t specify websocket transport. Thatā€™s also easily fixed though, try this:

ws = websocket.WebSocketApp("wss://online-go.com/socket.io/?transport=websocket",on_message = on_message, on_error = on_error, on_close = on_close)
ws.run_forever()

I think part of this is coming down to you somewhat misunderstanding ā€œtransportā€ here. Iā€™m learning this recently too, but in Socket.io, there are two: polling and websocket. You specify that as a query parameter, not based on how you execute it. (Note that this also seems to break Socket.io convention with is (based on my understanding from some cursory Googling) to ā€œupgradeā€ polling connections to websockets if possible, which is probably why itā€™s a little bit harder than normal.)

Also, for what itā€™s worth, hereā€™s how to start a connection with a post. However, requests doesnā€™t have the ability to continue it past there (wss isnā€™t implemented, obviously). It gives you the 101 Switching Protocols response that Socket.io is supposed to give when a connection is initiated to switch to websockets. Note Sec-WebSocket-Key is the base64 encoding of any random 16 bytes.

r = requests.get(ā€˜https://online-go.com/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocketā€™, headers={ā€œUpgradeā€:ā€œwebsocketā€, ā€œConnectionā€:ā€œUpgradeā€, ā€œSec-WebSocket-Keyā€:ā€œYWJjZGVmZ2hqdHVnZGZ0YQ==ā€, ā€œSec-WebSocket-Versionā€:ā€œ13ā€})

Ok, after digging through the source code for socketIO_client, it seems itā€™s following the Socket.io standard and starting everything with a polling transport first. You can make it show you what itā€™s doing more readily (instead of hanging) by adding the keyword argument wait_for_connection=False to the SocketIO constructor. It gives a 400, but if you put in an invalid URL, it actually shows the request string with transport=polling.

>>> sio = SocketIO('https://online-go.com',wait_for_connection=False)

    status_code, response.text))
socketIO_client.exceptions.ConnectionError: unexpected status code (400 {"code":0,"message":"Transport unknown"})

Trying to force it to websocket initially has been, thus far, unsuccessful. Even with taking xhr-polling out of the transports in the source didnā€™t quite work, and replacing the polling class with the websocket class (for science) just ended up really pissing it off. (Unsurprisingly.)

Iā€™ll keep poking at it more later and see what I can get. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s a real way to force it to use websocket transportā€¦

Note the transport=polling at the end of this.

Update on where I am now: I have decided to move to a node.js middle man between the OGS server and my python program. The connection between node js and python seems to be working fine (am using zerorpc). The node.js notifies python when it needs to make a move, and then the python program decides what to move, then calls the sendmove function inside of the node.js file. However, I canā€™t seem to get the node.js file to be able to send moves to the server and have them show up. The only time that I seem to be able to successfully send moves is when listening for a ā€œconnectā€ response. I made a little node.js program that uses that fact, but it only sends one move per socket connection. When I use this to submit moves, the whole system works for 2 moves then the server stops accepting moves. I also think making a new socket for every move is very wasteful and probably hard on the server, so what is the better way to do this?

OGSInterface.js:

'use strict';

let io = require('socket.io-client');
let http = require('http');
let https = require('https');
let crypto = require('crypto');
let request = require('request');

	.demand('gameid')
	.demand('auth')
	.describe('id', 'Specify the id of the bot')
	.describe('auth', 'Specify the API key for the bot')
	.describe('gameid', 'Specify the game id to make the move in')
;
let args = optimist.argv;

let game_id = args.gameid;
let id = args.id;
let auth = args.auth;

let zerorpc = require("zerorpc");

let client = new zerorpc.Client();
client.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:4242");

let socket = let this.socket = io('https://online-go.com:443', {
	reconection: true,
	reconnectionDelay: 500,
	reconnectionDelayMax: 60000,

let bot_id = null;
let jwt = null;

socket.on('connect', () => {

        bot_id = obj.id;
        jwt = obj.jwt;
        console.log(jwt)
        console.log("Bot is user id:", bot_id);
    });
});

var server = new zerorpc.Server({
	sendmove: function(apikey, gamekey, move, socket, reply) {
		console.log(apikey, gamekey, move, game_id, jwt);

            // If server has issues it might send us a new gamedata packet and not a move event. We could try to

Basically, the problem is that the socket hangs on ā€œgame/moveā€ and doesnā€™t ever actually make the move when you make the call outside socket.on("connect", ()=>{...here...});.

Hi there, just wondering if you finally managed to make this work as I am currently faced with the same issue
