Implementing a Web Channel Client▲
The client initializes a https:// connection to the chat server and receives an object containing all the necessary signals, slots, and properties for implementing a chat client.
After login, the client can invoke the method sendMessage and receive the signal newMessage to send and receive messages. Furthermore, a userList property provides the names of all other connected clients. It is automatically updated when its contents change. Also, the client responds to the server's keep alive signal which is needed to detect disconnected clients and remove them from the userList property.
The example shows how basic elements can be used with the client JavaScript implementation of https://, like connecting to signals (newMessage), calling slots (sendMessage), and handling property changes (userList).
The client is able to work with the https://.
