What is the most reliable way to detect if some one has directly connect to my socket connection instead of browser? I know that we can bypass all of that but I realized some WebSockets like tradingView return 403 when connecting directly from socket.io-client but works fine from browser.
How does it detect that And How can I implement that for my own socket.io server?
I'm not sure how to get device/browser/app the client is connected with but I managed to do something like that using handshake query of socket.io. I needed to distinguish between admin and client so in my client side I used this code:
const socket = io({
query: {
isAdmin: true,
name: "GetSub Admin"
},
// path: '/websockets',
resource: '/websockets'
});and on the server side I used
if (client.handshake.query.isAdmin == 'true') {
admins.push({
id: client.id,
name: client.handshake.query.name
});
}
else {
users.push({
id: client.id,
name: client.handshake.query.name
});maybe this will help you.
