HTML5 Websocket Server handshake (v.76) (Java) - java

I'm trying to build a Java-based HTML5 websocket server (v76) and have problems with the handshake. There are a few opensource Java solutions that supposedly support v76 but none of them seem to work.
I am certain my handshake response is correct (at least calculating the two key's responses). My question: Is Java by default Big Endian? Since the concatenation of the two key answers + the response bytes is the handshake answer, I'm having to do multiple type conversions (string to int, concat two ints into a string, then convert to byte and concat with the response bytes, then MD5 encoding), is there something in particular I need to be looking for? My response always seems accurate using Wireshark (# of bytes), but since the clients have no debug information it's hard to tell why my handshakes are failing.
Any supporting answers or working code would be EXTREMELY valuable to me.

Hey, this is a working example of the handshake producer for websockets version 76. If you use the example from the spec (http://tools.ietf.org/pdf/draft-hixie-thewebsocketprotocol-76.pdf) and print the output as a String, it produces the correct answer.
public byte[] getHandshake (String firstKey, String secondKey, byte[] last8)
{
byte[] toReturn = null;
//Strip out numbers
int firstNum = Integer.parseInt(firstKey.replaceAll("\\D", ""));
int secondNum = Integer.parseInt(secondKey.replaceAll("\\D", ""));
//Count spaces
int firstDiv = firstKey.replaceAll("\\S", "").length();
int secondDiv = secondKey.replaceAll("\\S", "").length();
//Do the division
int firstShake = firstNum / firstDiv;
int secondShake = secondNum / secondDiv;
//Prepare 128 bit byte array
byte[] toMD5 = new byte[16];
byte[] firstByte = ByteBuffer.allocate(4).putInt(firstShake).array();
byte[] secondByte = ByteBuffer.allocate(4).putInt(secondShake).array();
//Copy the bytes of the numbers you made into your md5 byte array
System.arraycopy(firstByte, 0, toMD5, 0, 4);
System.arraycopy(secondByte, 0, toMD5, 4, 4);
System.arraycopy(last8, 0, toMD5, 8, 8);
try
{
//MD5 everything together
MessageDigest md5 = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
toReturn = md5.digest(toMD5);
}
catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return toReturn;
}
I wrote this so feel free to use it where ever.
EDIT: Some other problems I ran into - You MUST write the 'answer' to the handshake as bytes. If you try to write it back to the stream as a String it will fail (must be something to do with char conversion?). Also, make sure you're writing the rest of the response to the handshake exactly as it shows in the spec.

Jetty 7 supports web sockets, and is open source. You might find inspiration (but I would suggest you just embed Jetty in your application and be done with it).
http://blogs.webtide.com/gregw/entry/jetty_websocket_server

You can try my implementation:

It supports draft 75 and 76 currently. Verified with current versions of Chrome and Safari. Good luck!

Send ASCII Data to UART3 on Android Things with 3 Byes of 0xFF at the end

I am trying to interface a Nextion HMI Serial Screen to Android Things, specifically the PICO-PI-IMX6UL
I am using the sample-uartloopback template as a starting place.
What I need to do is send the following payload over serial (UART3) in a certain format and in ASCII
page 1
The instruction is ended with three bytes "0xff 0xff 0xff"
All the instructions and parameters are in ASCII
All the instructions are in lowercase letters
mLoopbackDevice.write(buffer, buffer.length);
Where buffer is the payload with the three terminating bytes.
The thing is the screen wants in in ASCII but I can only send in the bytearray...
I have tried multiple ways and I cant seem to get it to work.
What would be the proper way to format a string of "page 1" and then add the terminating bytes?
I have it working in a node app but java is blowing my mind right now...
I have tried:
String strCommand = "page 1";
byte b = (byte)0xFF;
byte[] endCommand = {b,b,b};
byte[] cmd = strCommand.getBytes();
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
outputStream.write(cmd);
outputStream.write(endCommand);
byte[] payload = outputStream.toByteArray();
Screen.write(payload, payload.length);
but that does not work.
I can read data (nothing useful at the moment) so I can confirm the communication is fine and It works in my Node app, but I need to port it to Android Things...
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
EDIT: This returns the correct format for me in JS
function hex(str) {
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0, l = str.length; i < l; i ++) {
var ascii = str.charCodeAt(i);
arr.push(ascii);
}
arr.push(255);
arr.push(255);
arr.push(255);
return new Buffer(arr);
}

Generating a dynamic password reset link

To reset my password I want to send the user a link to site/account/{hash} where {hash} is a hash of the user's password and a timestamp.
I have the following code to hash only the email and have a readable link:
String check = info.mail;
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");
String checkHash = Base64.encodeBase64String(md.digest(check.getBytes()));
if(checkHash.equals(hash)){
return ResponseEntity.ok("Password reset to: " + info.password);
}else{
return ResponseEntity.ok("Hash didn't equal to: " + checkHash);
}
The problem is that when I convert this to Base64 it may include / signs what will mess up my links and checking of the hash.
I can simply replace any unwanted signs by something else after the hashing but is there some other way to have your hash only include a certain part of codes?
Also I know the returns are still sent unsafe but this is just for testing and debugging.
The RFC 3548 specifies a variant often called "base64url" specifically designed for that purpose. In this variant, + and / are replaced by - and _.
Java 8 has built-in support with the new Base64 class. If you're stuck with an older version, the Base64 class of Apache Commons can be configured to be url safe by using the new Base64(true) constructor.
Other options might be:
Don't use Base64, but transfer the bytes as hexadecimal
representation (which will not contain any special characters):
String checkHash = toHex(md.digest(check.getBytes()));
with
private static String toHex(byte[] bytes) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (byte b : bytes) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X", b));
}
return sb.toString();
}
Use URL encoding/decoding on the generated hash (that's what you already know)

UDP Packet received okay in Java but corrupted in Python

I am trying to record audio from an Android tablet and send it to a python server. At the start of the byte packet, I include some relevant information about the state of the Android app (A byte array called "actives" -- but considering it's receiving fine by a Java server, this should not be relevant). The android code is as follows:
int read = recorder.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
for (int a = 0; a < actives.length; a++) {
outBuffer[a+1] = (byte)actives[a];
logger = logger + Byte.toString(actives[a]) + ",";
}
int furthest=0;
for(int a =0; a < buffer.length; a++){
outBuffer[actives.length+1+a]=buffer[a];
if(buffer[a]!=0)furthest=a;
}
packet = new DatagramPacket(outBuffer, read,
serverAddress, PORT);
Log.d("writing", logger+Byte.toString(outBuffer[7])+".length"+Integer.toString(1+furthest+actives.length+1));
Log.d("streamer","Packet length "+outBuffer.length);
try {
socket.send(packet);
}catch (IOException e){
Log.e("streamer", "Exception: " + e);
}
Log.d("streamer","packetSent");
I receive a clean signal on the other end using a Java server.
Image of received java output: !(http://i.imgur.com/31UWzya.png)
This is my Java server:
DatagramSocket serverSocket = new DatagramSocket(3001);
int byteSize=970;
byte[] receiveData = new byte[byteSize];
DatagramPacket receivePacket = new DatagramPacket(receiveData,
receiveData.length);
while(true){ // recieve data until timeout
try {
serverSocket.receive(receivePacket);
String rcvd = "rcvd from " + receivePacket.getAddress();
System.out.println("receiver"+"Received a packet!" +rcvd);
break;
}
catch (Exception e) {
// timeout exception.
System.out.println("Timeout reached without packet!!! " + e);
timeoutReached=true;
break;
}
}
if(timeoutReached)continue;
currTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
data = receivePacket.getData();
Here is my Python server's output:
!(http://i.imgur.com/RYkcCCE.png)
And here is the code:
import socket
ip="192.ip.address"
port=3001;
sock=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM);
sock.bind(('',port));
while(True):
data,addr=sock.recvfrom(970);
print("address",addr);
print("received a data!");
print(data);
In the last line of the python script, I have tried to change "print(data)" to "print(data.decode())", in which case I get this error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
I am not running these servers at the same time
My guess is that it has to do something with Java using unsigned ints and python not doing that. Is there a way in Python that I can convert this data, because data.decode() is not working? Alternatively I should be able to convert the data in Java somehow? None of the answers on stackoverflow that I have tried have worked.
Decoding is the right approach. In your android app explicitly mention the character encoding. UTF-8 is the standard Charset that is used.
Your log is pretty clear. You are trying to decode the data packet as ASCII (which is the default encoding of the decode() function) but I'm guessing its ISO_8859_1 or UTF-8 (more likely).
Next try data.decode('utf8', 'ignore') in your android app. Note: 'ignore' is an optional argument and to be used only in case of debugging as it will ignore malformed(corrupted) data and try to convert individual characters. If you want to use decode() in production use 'strict' or no second argument ('strict' is the default).
In place of 'utf8' try other options from other Python Encodings.
This was pretty brutal to attack head-on. I tried specifying the encoding in Java (before sending) like another SO post suggested, but that didn't help. So I side-stepped the problem by converting my Android byte array into a comma-separated string, then converting the string back into UTF-8 bytes.
sendString="";
for(int a =0; a < buffer.length; a++){
sendString=sendString+Byte.toString(buffer[a])+",";
}
byte[] outBuffer = sendString.getBytes("UTF-8");
Make sure you reset your string to null ("") each time you go through the while loop, or your ish will get very slow af.
Then in Python,right after receiving:
data=data.decode("utf8");
Although I am stringifying 980 characters, it does not appear to add much to the processing time... although I do wish that I could send the raw bytes, as speed is very important to me here. I'll leave the question open in case someone can come up with a better solution.

byte array length varies before and after transformation

I have a need to send and receive large byte array over internet(http restful service).
the simplest way I can think of is to convert the byte array into string.
I searched around and found this post Java Byte Array to String to Byte Array
I had the follow code to verify the accuracy of the transformation.
System.out.println("message");
System.out.println (message);
String message = "Die Strahlengriffelgewächse stammen...";
byte[] pack = Fbs.packExce(message);
System.out.println ("pack");
System.out.println (pack);
System.out.println ("packlenght:" + pack.length);
String toString = new String(pack);
System.out.println ("toString");
System.out.println (toString);
byte[] toBytes = toString.getBytes();
System.out.println ("toBytes");
System.out.println (toBytes);
System.out.println ("toByteslength:" +toBytes.length);
the "Fbs.packExce()" is a method of taking in large chunk of string and churning out byte array of large size.
I changed the length of the message, checked and printed out the length of byte arrays before converting to string and after converting back.
I got the following results:
...
pack
[B#5680a178
packlenght:748
...
toBytes
[B#5fdef03a
toByteslength:750
----------------------
...
pack
[B#5680a178
packlenght:1016
...
toBytes
[B#5fdef03a
toByteslength:1018
I had omitted the "message" since it is too long.
8 times out of 10, I can see that the derived byte array(the new one, saying "toBytes") is longer by 2 bytes than the original byte array ( the "pack")
I said 8 of 10, because there were also scenarios when the length are the same between the derived and the original, see below
...
pack
[B#5680a178
packlenght:824
toString
...
toBytes
[B#5fdef03a
toByteslength:824
...
I can not figure out the exact rules.
does anyone has any idea?
or are there any better ways of converting byte array to and from string?
cheers
the simplest way I can think of is to convert the byte array into string.
The simplest way is the wrong way. For most character encodings, converting an arbitrary byte sequence to a text is likely to be lossy.
A better (i.e. more robust) way is to use Base64 encoding. Read the javadoc for the Base64 class and its dependent encode and decoder classes.
If you do persist in trying to convert arbitrary bytes top characters and back using new String(byte[]) and the like:
Be sure that you chose a character encoding where a Bytes -> Characters -> Bytes conversion sequence is not lossy. (LATIN-1 will work)
Don't rely on the current execution platform's default character encoding for the encoding / decoding charset.
In a client / server system, the client and server have to use the same encoding.
I have a need to send and receive large byte array over internet(http
restful service).
the simplest way I can think of is to convert the byte array into
string.
If that's all about sending/receiving byte array with jaxrs, each jaxrs implementation is perfectly capable of transmitting byte[]. See specification, section 4.2.4.
as per suggestion by Stephen C, I turned to Base64 basic mode:
following are my current complete verification code:
String message = "Die Strahlengriffelgewächse stammen ... ...
System.out.println("message");
System.out.println (message);
byte[] pack = Fbs.packExce(message);
System.out.println ("pack");
System.out.println (pack);
System.out.println ("packlenght:" + pack.length);
String toString = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(pack);
System.out.println ("toString");
System.out.println (toString);
byte[] toBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(toString);
System.out.println ("toBytes");
System.out.println (toBytes);
System.out.println ("toByteslength:" +toBytes.length);
String toBytesExtraction = extractExce(toBytes);
System.out.println ("toBytesExtraction");
System.out.println (toBytesExtraction);
String extraction = extractExce(pack);
System.out.println ("extraction");
System.out.println (extraction);
public static byte[] packExce(String text){
FlatBufferBuilder builder = new FlatBufferBuilder(0);
int textOffset = builder.createString(text);
Exce.startExce(builder);
Exce.addText(builder, textOffset);
int exce = Exce.endExce(builder);
Bucket.startBucket(builder);
Bucket.addContentType(builder, Post.Exce);
Bucket.addContent(builder, exce);
int buck = Bucket.endBucket(builder);
builder.finish(buck);
return builder.sizedByteArray();
//ByteBuffer buf = builder.dataBuffer();
//return buf;
//return Base64.getMimeEncoder().encodeToString(buf.array());
}
private String extractExce(byte[] bucket ){
String message = null;
ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.wrap(bucket);
Bucket cont = Bucket.getRootAsBucket(buf);
System.out.println (cont.contentType());
if (cont.contentType() == Post.Exce){
message = ((Exce)cont.content(new Exce())).text();
}
return message;
}
and it seems work for my purpose:
...
pack
[B#5680a178
packlenght:2020
...
toBytes
[B#5fdef03a
toByteslength:2020
'''
----------------------
...
pack
[B#5680a178
packlenght:1872
...
toBytes
[B#5fdef03a
toByteslength:1872
...
and both extraction respectively from "toBytes" and "pack" faithfully restored the original "message"
String toBytesExtraction = extractExce(toBytes);
String extraction = extractExce(pack);
as a matter of fact, what I did not mention is that my original implementation had been base64 mime. my start point had been ByteBuffer then (my current is byte[]).
following are my code snippets if you are interested in.
coder
...
ByteBuffer buf = builder.dataBuffer();
return Base64.getMimeEncoder().encodeToString(buf.array());
decoder
ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.wrap(Base64.getMimeDecoder().decode(bucket));
my guess is that the problem might have come from base64.mime.
because my first step of trouble location had been removing base64.mime, and using ByteBuffer directly. and it was a success...
well, I am a bit wandering off.
Back to the topic, I am still having no idea about the "2 bytes vary" regarding byte arrays before and after converting by "new String(byte[]) and "String.getBytes()" ...
cheers

CRC32 (Ethernet) Calculation vs .ZIP/.PNG in Java?

I can only calculate the CRC32 values of .ZIP/.PNG Strings, but not Ethernet related ones. The Java CRC32 class only seems to allow for one type of calculation.
String str = textField.getText();
Checksum checksum = new CRC32();
byte bytes[] = null;
try {
bytes = str.getBytes("ASCII");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(GUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
checksum.update(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
long lngChecksum = checksum.getValue();
crc32bField.setText(Long.toHexString(lngChecksum));
This is the code I've written to calculate my CRC, could anyone help me achieve the same values as one calculated on this website?
http://hash.online-convert.com/crc32-generator
Just as an example,
"hello world" =
7813f744 (website)
D4A1185 (My Code)
Thanks :)
It seems that the algorithm used in the website you provided is CRC32 whereas the one you are using is CRC32B. Both of them are completely different algorithms that is why you are getting different values.
You try the CRC32B algorithm from the same website. It is inline with what the Checksum class is giving you.
