TLS/SSL support about websocket-node HOT 6 CLOSED

Fantastic! I'll update the README. Thanks!

in the echo-server.js (under test/), i did what pors mentioned in the above post, creating https server on the server side and replacing w/ wss on the client, but it still didn't work for me. could you please help out?

Can you be more specific? Did you configure the certificate correctly? Can you serve regular html files from your https server instance?

Note that your client must have the certificate accepted. If you have the https setup you can browse to that manually and then you will get the 'accept cert' message, after which you will be able to connect.

I'm not sure on the behaviour on firefox, but with chrome you will get absolutely nothing if you try and connect via websockets to a server via ssl and you don't have the certificate imported into chrome. Even debugging javascript will not help, there are no errors, no nothing. From memory chrome acts as though no connection exists. If you wish to see a working example have a look at my videre-server.js project and my videre project. It optionally uses ssl and works fine.

Yes, I confirm James. I have a https setup and wss server. When I try connect to wss server from https web page, I can not connect from Firefox. I must manually request wss connection first, then firefox warn for certificate, When I accept certificate, later it works normally. However Firefox does not warn or load wss certificate automatically.
I also test with Chrome and it works normally. (It automatically load wss certificate without manually pointing it)
Safari behaves same as Firefox.
If we think about browser's security chain, it should be fine asking user about certificate acceptance if there is another ssl request from https web page loaded. But it does not even ask. That seems problem.
Although system works normally after manually force requesting wss certificate, this is not useful for common users. Do someone has an idea how to solve it?

I'm not aware of a way. I did a bit of searching on this a while back and it seems it's intentional (well for google). It seems that they intentionally do not prompt the user if javascript uses websockets to connect to a wss that is an upgrade of a https that the browser has not browsed to. I can see the logic in this. It's annoying but I do understand why they do this.
