How to close the connection in a WebSocketBehavior ?

[fungiboletus]

Hi,

Do you have any input about how to close a connection server side? I want to close the connection when the access is unauthorized.

In your WebSocketBehavior implementation class, call this.Sessions.CloseSession(sessionId) where sessionId is the session to close.

EDIT: this.ID to get the current session identifier.

Thank you it works fine. I added a sessions.CloseSession(ID); in my OnOpen callback. I leave the issue open because it may be interesting to have a Close() method.

Hello there,

There is another way to close, by calling the WebSocketBehavior.Context.WebSocket.Close method.

I don't guess that it's so often to call the close in from the derived WebSocketBehavior class, isn't it so?

I don't know, but I don't think it's very common. A close method can make it closer to the client WebSocket class, but you maybe don't want to have a bloated WebSocketBehavior.

It makes sense to close if you want to allow websocket connections from whitelisted IP addresses only @sta
