Introduction and architecture of system
Requirement analysis
1. The initial step required downloading and building the Rust compiler. To install Rust on the machine, clone the Rust source code from Mozilla's repository on GitHub.
2. Then we had to build the rust compiler.
3. To build the servo, we cloned the source code into the local repository.
4. Then we created a WebSocket.webidl file in the /servo/components/script/dom/webidls/ directory. This file was added in order to create a new interface for the web socket.This interface is inherited from the EventTarget interface in servo.
5. We added several attributes and methods to the WebSocket.webidl file which we plan to execute during the course of the project.
6. We created a corresponding websocket.rs file in the /servo/components/script/dom/ directory. In this file we have currently created a constructor that takes a url as an argument. We have a stub function to return the url that is used for initializing the web socket object through the constructor.
7. We added The WebSocketTypeId to the struct in the eventtarget.rs file.
8. We added the websocket module that we created to the lib.rs file.
9. After making all the changes we build are changes into servo.
10. This was Part One of our project, which was a part of our OSS project.
11. Part Two is our final project and is an extension of our OSS project.
12. Now we will create a constructor which will return an WebSocket object and initiate a basic connection with the server.
