How to open several different WebSocket connections to the same server/port from NodeJS?

Question

JavaScript

To test the WS application, it was necessary to open several connections in parallel:
1 as an admin, several as users. So far, I have done the entire test in one script: admin and user objects are created,
each creates its own WS instance :

const WebSocket = require('ws');

this.ws = new WebSocket(`ws://${this.server_ip}:${this.server_ws_port}`);

But it turns out that there is only one connection. From the server's point of view, there is only one connection, and all commands fall into it. From all "customers".

WS server, if it matters, on Swoole. I connect directly from the same server where it is running, on 127.0.0.1

How to make connections to be different, albeit from the same process and to the same ip/port?

Answer 1

It looks like you don't need a second connection, you just need to check on the server side for authorization (cookie, token or whatever) when the client connects.
