I have a flask app that processes a web socket stream of audio from Twilio.
The app works fine without gunicorn but when I start it with gunicorn I get only the first message of the socket (connect) and an unsuccessful handshake. Here is how the app looks:
from flask import Flask
from flask_sockets import Sockets
from geventwebsocket.handler import WebSocketHandler
from gevent import pywsgi
...
app = Flask(__name__)
sockets = Sockets(app)
...
@sockets.route('/media')
def media(ws):
...
if __name__ == '__main__':
server = pywsgi.WSGIServer(('', HTTP_SERVER_PORT), app, handler_class=WebSocketHandler)
server.serve_forever()
When I start the app directly using python flaskapp.py
it works ok.
When I start it using gunicorn by writing:
gunicorn -k flask_sockets.worker --bind 0.0.0.0:5055 --log-level=bug flaskapp:app
this is where the connection "hangs" and carries no further than the initial connection, apparently due to the handshake failing.
It's important to note that I haven't "gevent monkey patched" the code, but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the problem.
Any idea will much be appreciated!
