wsshostportpathquery

The term "wsshostportpathquery" is a concatenation of components commonly found in a WebSocket URL. WebSockets are a communication protocol that provides full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. A typical WebSocket URL follows a structure that includes these elements.

"ws" or "wss" indicates the protocol. "ws" signifies an unencrypted WebSocket connection, while "wss" indicates a secure, encrypted connection, similar to how "http" and "https" work for web pages. "host" refers to the domain name or IP address of the server that the client is attempting to connect to. "port" is the network port number on which the WebSocket server is listening for connections. If the port is not specified, it defaults to 80 for "ws" and 443 for "wss". "path" specifies a particular resource or endpoint on the server that the WebSocket connection will interact with. Finally, "query" represents optional parameters or arguments that can be passed to the server as part of the connection request, similar to query parameters in a standard HTTP URL. Understanding these components is crucial for correctly establishing and managing WebSocket connections.
