Socket Client
WebSocket tester
Socket Client: WebSocket tester. A free browser-based tool from DevToolbox, with no account and no tracking. It is one of the seven that has to use the network: it sends the messages you type to the WebSocket endpoint you connect to.
About the Socket Client
Free online WebSocket tester. Test WebSocket connections with message composer, auto-reconnect, and message logging. It is one of the seven DevToolbox tools that has to use the network to do its job. The rest compute entirely in your browser.
Unlike most of the site, this tool cannot answer without asking something else: it sends the messages you type to the WebSocket endpoint you connect to. The request goes straight from your machine. DevToolbox has no server in the path and keeps no copy.

Questions
- Does this one send anything over the network?
- Yes, and it has to. Socket Client cannot answer without making a request, so it sends the messages you type to the WebSocket endpoint you connect to. The connection is opened by your browser directly. Nothing else about your session goes with it, and no copy is kept here, because DevToolbox still has no backend.
- Is it free, and do I need an account?
- It is free and there is no account, no sign-in and no usage limit. There is nothing to register because there is no server keeping track of anything.
