I am working on Mattermost API. Currently i am stuck with web socket. To authenticate with an authentication challenge, first connect the WebSocket and then send the following JSON over the connection

{ "seq": 1, "action": "authentication_challenge", "data": { "token": "mattermosttokengoeshere" } } How can i sent this JSON. Thanks

In Mattermost 3.5 and later, you can authenticate your WebSocket by connecting and then providing the token in a JSON formatted authentication challenge over the WebSocket.

An example authentication challenge would look like this:

{ "seq": 1, "action": "authentication_challenge", "data": { "token": "mattermosttokengoeshere" } } If the WebSocket authenticates correctly then you will receive a standard ok response looking like this:

{ "status": "OK", "seq_reply": 1 }

All previous versions of Mattermost before 3.5 will require the token in the cookie. Mattermost 3.5 still supports authenticating through the cookie.
