WebSockets.PCL is a portable class library, profile 259, C# WebSocket implementation.

The motivation for this project was three part :

1. Having a completely different websocket implementation on every platform is a pain.

2. OkHttp.Ws Crashes with a fatal signal 11 if you loose internet

3. My original Mono implementation could not support TLS or SSL (Because Mono is janky)

This project is a binding library that makes use of native websockets to get around the limitations and jank of mono based websockets. On IOS I use SocketRocket because it works fine. On Android I wrote a custom binding library in Java and use AndroidAsync. On the WP8 we wrap around Websockets4Net. On the other platforms we wrap the default MSDN implementation. Really the most valuable part is the android implementation... but why not unify ?

        void Configure()
        {
            // Call in your platform (non-pcl) startup            
            // 1) Link in your main activity or AppDelegate or whatever
            Websockets.Droid.WebsocketConnection.Link();
        }
        
        
        void Connect()
        {
            // 2) Get a websocket from your PCL library via the factory
            connection = Websockets.WebSocketFactory.Create();
            connection.OnOpened += Connection_OnOpened;
            connection.OnMessage += Connection_OnMessage;
        }

        void Send()
        {            
            connection.Open("http://echo.websocket.org");
            connection.Send("Hello World");
        }

        private void Connection_OnOpened()
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Opened !");
        }

        private void Connection_OnMessage(string obj)
        {
            Echo = obj == "Hello World";
        }

There are a few 'test' examples (projects with the Tests suffix). Take a look there. The relivent code is in a standalone test file.

• Support other platforms. Will implement as requested.
