Socket Client Tool

Browser-based utilities for manually connecting to WebSocket and Socket.IO servers during development.

Source

• Socket.IO Client Tool — connect, emit, and listen to Socket.IO events
• PieSocket WebSocket Tester — raw WebSocket client in the browser

Socket.IO Client Tool

• Enter server URL and optional path/query
• Emit named events with JSON payloads
• Watch inbound events in a live log
• Useful for verifying namespaces, rooms, and auth middleware

PieSocket WebSocket Tester

• Plain WebSocket connect/send without Socket.IO framing
• Good for STOMP, custom protocols, or pre-Socket.IO handshake debugging

Tips

• Test both ws:// (local) and wss:// (TLS) endpoints
• Mirror production headers (Authorization, cookies) when auth is header-based
• Pair with Testing Socket.IO with Postman for collection-based regression
