can't get /web to connect to websocket on SSL (wss)

[zyxep]

Hi,

I have pointed my nginx web server to point to the /web folder, and i have changed the connection to be a WSS: but it won't connect on localhost.

any clue?

Can you show the browser's console log after opening the page?

Anyway, I do not believe WSS will work. Sorry about that.

You can look here, https://zyxep.net/

Shouldn't i get any response when the server is running ?

Initializing server
Tue Feb 16 2016 21:08:18 GMT+0100 (CET) 'Logged in as: d-zone - (144119011251191808)'
Connected to 1 server(s)

I don't even see anything when i connect to it with iocat

# iocat --socketio wss://127.0.0.1:3000
>

Even though there is activity on the server

And i just changed it to ws:// same result.

$ iocat --socketio ws://127.0.0.1:3000
>

No, the server won't log anything if the connection is refused. That is shown only in the browser console.

I can't see the exact error you're getting since your page is pointed at 127.0.0.1, but I know that wss:// is not supported.

[vegeta897]

If you load your page with http:// instead of https:// it should work.

[zyxep]

I just changed it to http and listening on external ip, no changes.

That's about the limit of my knowledge on the subject, sorry. Perhaps you could try a new port.

[zyxep]

Can i enable debugging in your code some how?
I just tried to start a socket.io server with iocat, and that works perfectly.

[vegeta897]

Perhaps you could add this on line 10 in socket.js to see if the websocket having issues.

wss.on('error', function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

I got it to work @vegeta897 :)
First my problem was
i didn't clone the repo, and run "npm install".
2nd i had blocked the port number in my firewall.

but now my site us running d-zone :D

[vegeta897]

@zyxep That's great to hear! Your server looks great :)

[zyxep]

It's not even my server :P but i did get permission to set it up on it.

[vegeta897]

D-Zone is a heavily WIP project and also a collection of firsts for me as a developer. My implementation of websockets was the minimum for what I needed to get it working. If someone had sent a PR to add SSL support, I would have happily accepted it. But it simply hasn't been a priority for me.

The rewrite I'm working on, on the other hand, will support SSL (and may require it, pending a design decision) since the bot client will be running in-browser.
