[javascript] websocket.send() parameter

As I understand it, you want the server be able to send messages through from client 1 to client 2. You cannot directly connect two clients because one of the two ends of a WebSocket connection needs to be a server.

This is some pseudocodish JavaScript:

Client:

var websocket = new WebSocket("server address");

websocket.onmessage = function(str) {
  console.log("Someone sent: ", str);
};

// Tell the server this is client 1 (swap for client 2 of course)
websocket.send(JSON.stringify({
  id: "client1"
}));

// Tell the server we want to send something to the other client
websocket.send(JSON.stringify({
  to: "client2",
  data: "foo"
}));

Server:

var clients = {};

server.on("data", function(client, str) {
  var obj = JSON.parse(str);

  if("id" in obj) {
    // New client, add it to the id/client object
    clients[obj.id] = client;
  } else {
    // Send data to the client requested
    clients[obj.to].send(obj.data);
  }
});
