Ws: Missing upgradeReq property makes it impossible to determine request URL

Created on 19 Jun 2017 · 5Comments · Source: websockets/ws

Description

In version 3.0.0 the WebSocket.upgradeReq property has been removed. Unfortunately that means that now there's no simple way to determine on the server which URL the client originally requested. In version 2.3.1 you could do this simply using ws.upgradeReq.url where ws is the instance of the WebSocket class.

Reproducible in:

version: 3.0.0
Node.js version(s): any
OS version(s): any

Steps to reproduce:

N/A

Expected result:

N/A

Actual result:

You can save it when the connection event is emitted:

wss.on('connection', function connection(ws, req) {
  const url = req.url;
  // Do whatever you want with it.
  // You can even reattach it to the `ws` object if you need to.
});
