TETRA Homebrew Protocol

Protocol is based on WebSocket version 13 (RFC 6455) without extensions. It's highly recommended to use socket options TCP_NODELAY and TCP_QUICKACK.

Endpoint, authentication

To establish a new connection client should make a HTTP GET call to get web socket's endpoint and pass authentication procedure. Authentication is based on HTTP Digest Access Authentication (RFC 2831). As a result of successful authentication server returns HTTP 200 and a URI to an endpoint to be used for WebSocket connection.

GET /brew/ HTTP/1.1


HTTP/1.1 200 OK
