            Something is wrong with your ARM toolchain or how the build system uses it. Where did you get it from and how did you install it?

            The header sys/capability.h is included with the ARM toolchain. For example, when I install the Debian package gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf then this header file gets copied to /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/linux/capability.h. The toolchain is supposed to find it there on its own.

            The command arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -v will show you where the toolchain is configured to look for its own header files. E.g. in output below it's --includedir=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include that matters, the header should be found relative to this directory. I apologize for the super long line.

            libwebsockets stops processing to read incoming packets
            Asked 2020-May-05 at 10:27

            I am building a client/server protocol using libwebsockets library. In the poll thread, each callback on incoming packets triggers a certain method to either save data, respond accordingly, and so on. However, if there are other incoming packets that would trigger LWS_CALLBACK_CLIENT_RECEIVE, the processing of the previous task is left undone.

            Is there a way to finish the tasks before dealing with the packets received? Should LWS_CALLBACK_CLIENT_RECEIVE start new threads to handle the processing of data?

            ANSWER

            Answered 2020-May-05 at 10:27

            This was a typical case of multi-threading: one thread receives the packets, fills a buffer and goes back to listening for incoming packets. Working threads will empty the buffer.

            If the pre-built version doesn't have websockets enabled and you don't have room to install the build tools to rebuild it on the device then your only option is to follow the openwrt cross compile instructions and build it on a different machine then copy the binaries/package over to the router.

            You really need to show the code that you are using to connect to the Speech To Text service rather than the code that you based it on, because that will the code that you have your coding error in. In the absence of which I can only speculate what you might have done wrong.

            Number 1: You should be connecting to something that looks like a web socket address and not a http address. eg.

            wss://stream.watsonplatform.net/speech-to-text/api/v1/recognize

            but with a london endpoint address.

            writing partial data with libwebsockets
            Asked 2019-Jan-11 at 12:51

            I'm using the libwebsockets v2.4.

            The doc seems unclear to me about what I have to do with the returned value of the lws_write() function.

            If it returns -1, it's an error and I'm invited to close the connection. That's fine for me.

            But when it returns a value that is strictly inferior to the buffer length I pass, should I consider that I have to write the last bytes that could not be written later (in another WRITABLE callback occurrence). Is it even possible to have this situation?

            Also, should I use the lws_send_pipe_choked() before using the lws_write(), considering that I always use lws_write() in the context of a WRITABLE callback?

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2019-Jan-11 at 12:51

            My understanding is that lws_write always return the asked buffer length except is an error occurs.

            If you look at lws_issue_raw() (from which the result is returned by lws_write()) in output.c (https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/v2.4.0/lib/output.c#L157), you can see that if the length written by lws_ssl_capable_write() is less than the provided length, then the lws allocate a buffer to fill up the remaining bytes on wsi->trunc_alloc, in order for it to be sent in the future.

            Concerning your second question, I think it is safe to call lws_write() in the context of a WRITABLE callback without checking if the pipe is choked. However, if you happen to loop on lws_write() in the callback, lws_send_pipe_choked() must be called in order to protect the subsequent calls to lws_write(). If you don't, you might stumble upon this assertion https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/v2.4.0/lib/output.c#L83 and the usercode will crash.

            Send WebSockets message to server
            Asked 2019-Jan-09 at 09:43

            I am trying to work with an API of one device, but it is using a WS interface with enforced Origin header, which is giving me troubles.

            In Chrome, I can open the Console while a page with the correct Origin is loaded, create the WS connection, and send/receive messages without difficulties: Note that sent messages (in green) are always acknowledged by the server.

            For reference, this is what happens if I create the connection on a different page, which results in an Origin header mismatch, reported as 404:

            To sidestep this problem, I turned to C, because the rest of my program is written in that anyway. This is the code I have right now, based mostly on this answer:

            I found an ugly hack to make my C program send WebSocket messages to a server via the wsta program.

            It requires a text file, into which my program will append whenever it wants to send a message to the server. The new lines are then picked up in the background by tail -f, and are piped to wsta which maintains the connection. Output can be redirected to /dev/null so that the wsta output doesn't pollute the output of my program, or sent to a file if responses from the server need to be parsed. The whole script to make this work would look like this (or you could use FIFO pipe with cat instead of a file with tail):
