.. note:: If you want to verify the server, then you need to provide a certificate in PEM format, and provide to ``cert_pem`` in :cpp:type:`websocket_client_config_t`. If no certficate is provided then the TLS connection will default to not requiring verification.

PEM certificate for this example could be extracted from an openssl `s_client` command connecting to websocket.org.
In case a host operating system has `openssl` and `sed` packages installed, one could execute the following command to download and save the root or intermediate root certificate to a file (Note for Windows users: Both Linux like environment or Windows native packages may be used).
```
echo "" | openssl s_client -showcerts -connect websocket.org:443 | sed -n "1,/Root/d; /BEGIN/,/END/p" | openssl x509 -outform PEM >websocket_org.pem
```
In case a host operating system has `openssl` and `sed` packages installed, one could execute the following command to download and save the root or intermediate root certificate to a file (Note for Windows users: Both Linux like environment or Windows native packages may be used). ::

echo "" | openssl s_client -showcerts -connect websocket.org:443 \
| sed -n "1,/Root/d; /BEGIN/,/END/p" \
| openssl x509 -outform PEM \
> websocket_org.pem

This command will extract the second certificate in the chain and save it as a pem-file.

Mutual TLS with DS Peripheral
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

To leverage the Digital Signature (DS) peripheral on supported targets, use `esp_secure_cert_mgr <https://github.com/espressif/esp_secure_cert_mgr/>`_ to flash an encrypted client certificate. In your project, add the dependency: ::

idf.py add-dependency esp_secure_cert_mgr

Set ``client_cert`` and ``client_ds_data`` in the config struct:

.. code:: c
char *client_cert = NULL;
uint32_t client_cert_len = 0;
esp_err_t err = esp_secure_cert_get_device_cert(&client_cert, &client_cert_len);
assert(err == ESP_OK);
esp_ds_data_ctx_t *ds_data = esp_secure_cert_get_ds_ctx();
assert(ds_data != NULL);
esp_websocket_client_config_t config = {
.uri = "wss://echo.websocket.org",
.cert_pem = (const char *)websocket_org_pem_start,
.client_cert = client_cert,
.client_ds_data = ds_data,
};
.. note:: ``client_cert`` provided by `esp_secure_cert_mgr` is a null-terminated PEM; so ``client_cert_len`` (DER format) should not be set.

Events
------
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_BEGIN': The client thread is running.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_BEGIN`: The client thread is running.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_BEFORE_CONNECT`: The client is about to connect.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_CONNECTED`: The client has successfully established a connection to the server. The client is now ready to send and receive data. Contains no event data.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_DATA`: The client has successfully received and parsed a WebSocket frame. The event data contains a pointer to the payload data, the length of the payload data as well as the opcode of the received frame. A message may be fragmented into multiple events if the length exceeds the buffer size. This event will also be posted for non-payload frames, e.g. pong or connection close frames.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_ERROR`: The client has experienced an error. Examples include transport write or read failures.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_DISCONNECTED`: The client has aborted the connection due to the transport layer failing to read data, e.g. because the server is unavailable. Contains no event data.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_CLOSED`: The connection has been closed cleanly.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_FINISH': The client thread is about to exit.
* `WEBSOCKET_EVENT_FINISH`: The client thread is about to exit.

If the client handle is needed in the event handler it can be accessed through the pointer passed to the event handler:
