Config Options
Using A Proxy Agent To Open A Websocket Connection
For consumers who are not using the SDK via the browser it may be necessary to configure a proxy agent in order to connect with Mercury and open a Websocket in a proxy environment.
This can be done by configuring an agent as part of a DefaultMercuryOptions config object as shown below. The agent object will then be injected into the SDK and used in the Mercury plugin during WebSocket construction as an option property, allowing a connection to be established via the specified proxy url.
const webex = require(`webex`);
const HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent');
let httpsProxyAgent = new HttpsProxyAgent(url.parse(proxyUrl));
webex.init({
config: {
defaultMercuryOptions: {
agent: httpsProxyAgent
},
...
}
});
Retries
The default behaviour is for Mercury to continue to try to connect with an exponential back-off. This behavior can be adjusted with the following config params:
maxRetries
- the number of times it will retry before error. Default: 0initialConnectionMaxRetries
- the number of times it will retry before error on the first connection. Once a connection has been established, any further connection attempts will use maxRetries
. Default: 0backoffTimeMax
- The maximum time between connection attempts in ms. Default: 32000backoffTimeReset
- The time before the first retry in ms. Default: 1000
