I am looking for examples or anything that shows how we might be able to consume web sockets in PowerBuilder ... is that possible?

 

Thank you!

Also, Chilkat has an ActiveX control for WebSocket client. They support PowerBuilder for all their products.

Dear Roland, is there free component of websocket? seems Chilkat's is not free, I remember there is Powerserver in previous PB version, but seems not included in PB2017, do you know where can I get the PowerWebSocketClient.dll of PB2017?

Are you talking about a PB desktop app communicating with a WebSockets enabled web application?

I haven't tried it myself but it appears to be similar to the WinHTTP API.

Microsoft documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/websock/web-socket-protocol-component-api-portal

I have some examples that may be helpful.

WinHTTP API:

WinSock API:
