Post by: duncan.greenyer on April 07, 2023, 08:28:25 pm

Does anyone know if its possible to create a Web Socket in EA's javascript engine or even a basic network socket?

The Javascript Engine is Spidermonkey v63.
Yes in theory, it should be possible to create a Web Socket in Sparx EA JavaScript engine.
Here is an example of how to use websocket with javascript you could try.

Thanks for the response however, new WebSocket does not work, it appears that this library has not been included or the version of Spider Monkey is too old. I did look for a COM/ActiveX version but this is messy and a security flaw. I cannot use V8 require or module imports so there seems no way to invoke a web socket which is a shame.
