Created a websocket with Flask-io and gevent whenever sent a request to server it open and closes the connection immediately

[Mr-Dj-Python]

extension.py file

socketio = SocketIO(async_mode="gevent")

flask_app. py file

socketio.init_app(app, cors_allowed_origins="*")

run server via

gunicorn -k geventwebsocket.gunicorn.workers.GeventWebSocketWorker --bind localhost:5005 flask_app:app --workers=1 --threads=300

whenever I send a request to the server it opens a connection and closes immediately.

@miguelgrinberg please suggest something

Start by initializing the extension in a single place. If you want to use a direct initialization, then pass all your arguments to the SocketIO() constructor. If you prefer the two-step initialization, then initialize SocketIO() with no arguments, and pass all your arguments to init_app().

[miguelgrinberg]

Also use a Socket.IO client to make a connection.

[Mr-Dj-Python]

so if I use the normal WebSocket npm library it won't work with it?

[miguelgrinberg]

Well, no. This is a Socket.IO server, not a WebSocket server.

Noted let me try with that thanks

[Mr-Dj-Python]

@miguelgrinberg thanks you it is working now
