I am developing an iPhone App (using iOS 9 beta). I am using Socket connections for which I am using SocketRocket client library. But when I try to establish a wss connection with some invalid host name, I don't get any error on opening socket, connection or even on sending data, so whenever I try to run program it seems like information about host is correct and data is being sent.
I am using current version of SocketRocket library, I have added SRWebSocket.h, SRWebSocket.m and SocketRocket-Prefix.pch files in my project. Following is the part of code I have:
NSString* url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"wss://%@/myproject/stream?data=%d", webSocketHost, dummyData];
SRWebSocket *webSocket = [[SRWebSocket alloc] initWithURLRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]]];
webSocket.delegate = self;
// open websocket
[webSocket open];
// send message to websocket
[webSocket send:[self getJSONString:parameters]];
// close websocket
[webSocket close];
webSocket = nil;
If I pass some random host name like "abc.def" for the variable webSocketHost, it will still run smoothly (I have try-catch blocks surrounding above code, and I also tried to put break points in between and debugged it line by line).
And even when I don't have any internet connection to my phone, there aren't any errors thrown.
Does anyone know what could be the problem?
Thanks!
Are you implementing this delegate method? The library won't throw an error when you call [webSocket open], it will call this method if it can't connect to the endpoint sometime in the future since establishing a connection is an asynchronous operation.
- (void)webSocket:(SRWebSocket *)webSocket didFailWithError:(NSError *)error;
