Is it possible to mix websocket routes and http routes? I get a 500 hitting an http route when a websocket route is open. I thought it would suspend.

@pardom how do you mean? ws and http are two different protocols so one is exposed with ws (or wss) and the other one with http (or https)

I’m configuring the routing block with get and webSocket. The get block response correctly until the webSocket route is hit, upon which the get block returns a 500. I had assumed that each route would suspend, allowing each route to respond concurrently, it appears that they block each other.

Using the example from https://ktor.io/servers/features/websockets.html, here’s an example:

routing {
    get("/hello") {
        call.respond("Hello, World")
    }

    webSocket("/") { // websocketSession
        for (frame in incoming) {
            when (frame) {
                is Frame.Text -> {
                    val text = frame.readText()
                    outgoing.send(Frame.Text("YOU SAID: $text"))
                    if (text.equals("bye", ignoreCase = true)) {
                        close(CloseReason(CloseReason.Codes.NORMAL, "Client said BYE"))
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

hm yes different endpoints should definitely be able to respond in parallel, I had a look in my code and it seems I have never mixed them in the same routing-block though. Do you see anything in the logs when the endpoint returns a 500?
