WsockClient.nodejs

It will demonstrate the wide range that is openend by making use
of the power embedded in Node.js and its adapter to Caché, Ensemble, Health,..*
Node / JavaScript have wide reputation to work as a WebSocket client.
By using the Caché adapter it becomes easy to control it and to consume the results as a
Client for WebSocket Servers and to collect the replies in Caché, Ensemble, ..

I used node-v6.16.0-x64.msi and cache610.node as cache.node

You provide a Global for input:

 ^WsockIn="wss://echo.websocket.org/"
 ^WsockIn(0)=6
 ^WsockIn(1)="Hello"
 ^WsockIn(2)="World !"
 ^WsockIn(3)="Robert"
 ^WsockIn(4)="is waiting"
 ^WsockIn(5)="for replies"
 ^WsockIn(6)="exit"

and with this echo server you get back a Global as output

 ^WsockOut(0)=6
 ^WsockOut(1)="Hello"
 ^WsockOut(2)="World !"
 ^WsockOut(3)="Robert"
 ^WsockOut(4)="is waiting"
 ^WsockOut(5)="for replies"
 ^WsockOut(6)="exit"

you may call it from with class code or routine or command line

  kill ^WsockOut
  do $zf(-1,"node ""C:\Program Files\nodejs\samples\WsockDemo""")
  zwrite ^WsockOut

or in verbose mode

  SAMPLES>$node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\samples\WsockDemo"
start

server:  wss://echo.websocket.org/

Using the WebSocket Server in namespace SAMPLES

ws://localhost:57772/csp/samples/Web.SocketTest.cls

the replies look like this:

Received: 'Welcome to Cache WebSocket. NameSpace: SAMPLES'
Received: ''Hello' (length=5) recieved on 08 Feb 2019 at 02:57:08PM NameSpace=SAMPLES'
Received: ''World !' (length=7) recieved on 08 Feb 2019 at 02:57:08PM NameSpace=SAMPLES'

I have to admit this was my first piece of code to run in Node.js.
