Socket.sendBinary(data)

A module with a better and standard API exists

The new k6/experimental/websockets API partially implements the WebSockets API living standard.

When possible, we recommend using the new API. It uses a global event loop for consistency with other k6 APIs and better performance.

Send binary data through the connection.

ParameterTypeDescription
dataArrayBufferThe data to send.

Example

import ws from 'k6/ws';
const binFile = open('./file.pdf', 'b');
export default function () {
ws.connect('http://wshost/', function (socket) {
socket.on('open', function () {
socket.sendBinary(binFile);
});
socket.on('binaryMessage', function (msg) {
// msg is an ArrayBuffer, so we can wrap it in a typed array directly.
new Uint8Array(msg);
});
});
}
