    copied!<p>I'm trying to set up a websocket server in node.js but having problems. I found a bit code here on stackoverflow and heres the servercode I have now:</p> <pre><code>var net = require("net"), crypto = require("crypto"), users = []; net.createServer(function(socket) { this.name = "Anonymous"; users.push(socket); socket.on('data', function(buffer) { if(buffer.toString('utf-8').substring(0, 14) === "GET / HTTP/1.1") { this.securyPattern = /Sec-WebSocket-Key: (.*)/g; this.key = this.securyPattern.exec(buffer); this.magic = "258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11"; this.sha1 = crypto.createHash("sha1"); this.sha1.update(this.key[1] + this.magic); this.accept = this.sha1.digest("base64"); socket.write("HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\nUpgrade: WebSocket\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\nSec-WebSocket-Accept: " + this.accept + "\r\n\r\n"); } else { console.log(buffer); console.log(buffer.toString('utf-8')); } }); socket.on('end', function() { users.splice(users.indexOf(socket), 1); }); }).listen(1337); </code></pre> <p>Everything works fine as it connects, and users.length is updated when that happens and when someone disconnects.</p> <p>The problem is that I dont know how to read messages except the header (which is plain text), so the lines that I have to print the buffer and buffer.toString('utf-8') only prints something binary different all the time, example for the word "hello":</p> <pre><code>&lt;Buffer 81 85 71 dc c1 02 19 b9 ad 6e 1e&gt; ??q??☻↓??n▲ &lt;Buffer 81 85 8e 8f 0f a2 e6 ea 63 ce e1&gt; ????☼???c?? </code></pre> <p>I'm sending this "hello" with Chrome 16 using: myWebSocket.send("hello"); where myWebSocket is the WebSocket object.</p> <p>So how do I read and write messages to the socket with this?</p>
