AutobahnTestsuite is an automated WebSocket protocol test suite that supports WSS. It is used by most WebSocket implementors to test their implementations for compliance and interoperability.

The project and third-party Web Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP) clients are also available at: https://crossbar.io/autobahn

Disclosure: I am original author of the testsuite.

I've run into this issue often enough that I finally created my own barebones GUI for testing websockets. It's called Socket Wrench, it supports

  • multiple concurrent connections to servers (with all responses and connections displayed in the same view),
  • comprehensive message history to enable easy re-use of messages, and
  • custom headers for the initial connection request.

It's available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux and you can get it from here.

I used "Simple WebSocket Client" chrome plugin to test wss endpoint. If your websocket is using self signed certificate, you to need add that certificate as a trusted certificated in your browser.

I followed below steps to add the self signed in my chrome browser.

suppose your websocket url is "wss://host1:port1/testSocket" . Then type urls as https:// host1:port1/testSocket and trust the certificate.
