Hello everyone, I am trying to implement websocket feature with ktor, but I only get 404 for the http://localhost:8080/ request in browser. Could you, please, tell me what can be wrong?

Here is my websocket implementation:

webSocket("/") {
    while (true) {
        delay(3000)
        outgoing.send(Frame.Text("hi"))
    }
}

did you "installed" WebSockets?

[Foso]

install(WebSockets)

[Kirill Prybylsky]

@Foso of course 🙂

[Foso]

okay, try to connect to ws://localhost:8080/

[Kirill Prybylsky]

@Foso I had relaunch server and tried to connect but..

[Kirill Prybylsky]

install(WebSockets){
    pingPeriod = Duration.ofSeconds(60)
    timeout = Duration.ofSeconds(15)
    maxFrameSize = Long.MAX_VALUE
    masking = false
}

[Kirill Prybylsky]

install setup

[Foso]

i meant in your websocket client where you connect to your websocket

[Kirill Prybylsky]

my client is a web browser, i also tried with chrome extension but result the same

[Foso]

Did you try this chrome extension? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-websocket-client/pfdhoblngboilpfeibdedpjgfnlcodoo

[Kirill Prybylsky]

yes, and also this one https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/websocket-test-client/fgponpodhbmadfljofbimhhlengambbn/related

[Foso]

okay, then i don't know a quick solution, try to check in the debugger if there is an incoming connection for your websocket. Maybe you should also post your question in #ktor

[alex j]

should i be concerned? 🤔

[Foso]

I don't know why it needs that permission, but you can also get it from here: https://github.com/hakobera/Simple-WebSocket-Client

[Jeremy Rouet]

when you need to access to the tabs, unfortunaly chrome ask this permissions 😞

[Jeremy Rouet]

I don't know why and i have the same problem in my chrome extention
