Sending STDIN to an interactive websocket

LXD
1

I am able to start running a command, and recieve STDOUT and STDERR via the websocket opened (In interactive mode and wait for websocket), but when i try to sending a message to STDIN via the websocket (Using websocket.Send(“input”)), the server simply echos it back at me instead of feeding it to the program. Is there a special format or syntax i should be using? The command running is “apt install nginx” and i am trying to send the string “Y”.

Update: Sending as bytes (both utf8 and ascii) trigger echo, whereas sending it as a normal websocket message result in no effect (No echo, but program also doesnt get the input)

Solved, you need to send the data as UTF8 bytes, and terminate the string in \r

byte[] b = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("y \r");
ws.Send(b, 0, b.Length);
