Websocket和telnet连接

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to use HTML-WebSockets to listen to a telnet stream?

Description: I have a DSL-Phone-Router (Fritzbox) which has a "Callmonitor"-function. This sends for every incomming/outgoing call a telnet line with specific infos.

I can see this stream, when i run...

telnet fritz.box 1012

on my Windows-CMD or MAC-Terminal.

My Question: Is it possible, that HTML5-Websockets can listen to this stream? Or can HTML5-Websockets only listen to a Websockets-Server like node.js etc...?

Answer 1

The websockify project was created for exactly this sort of thing. It is a python program that bridges between the WebSocket clients and raw TCP servers. You will need somewhere to run websockify, but the websockify requirements are fairly minimal. Also, you will need to implement the client side (HTML/Javascript) to display the stream, but websockify includes a wstelnet.html example that you should be able to modify or use directly for that purpose. Disclaimer : I created websockify.
