Actix-web supports WebSockets with the `actix-web-actors` crate. It is possible to convert a
|
|
|
|
|
request's `Payload` to a stream of [*ws::Message*][message] with a [*web::Payload*][payload]
|
|
|
|
|
and then use stream combinators to handle actual messages, but it is simpler to handle
|
|
|
|
|
websocket communications with an http actor.
