I'm trying to host a websocket-application op Openshift 3, but I have running into some issues.
Code at the backend:
templatePath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "templates")
staticPath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "static")
settings = {
"template_path": templatePath,
"static_path": staticPath,
"debug" : True
}
application = web.Application([
(r'/ws', WSHandler),
(r'/', MainHandler, {"staticFilesPath":staticPath}),
(r"/(.*)", tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path': staticPath}),
],**settings)
class WSHandler(tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler):
def initialize(self, messageHandler):
print 'Initializing MessageHandler'
self.messageHandler = messageHandler
def check_origin(self,origin):
return True
def open(self):
print 'Connection received'
def on_message(self, message):
message = simplejson.loads(message)
print 'received message of type "' + message['type'] + '"'
outputMessage = {'type': 'Hello', 'data': 'World'}
self.sendMessage(outputMessage)
def on_close(self):
print 'Connection closed'
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
def initialize(self, staticFilesPath):
self.staticFilesPath = staticFilesPath
def get(self):
print 'New connection'
webClientHtml = os.path.join(self.staticFilesPath,'index.html')
loader = tornado.template.Loader(".")
self.write(loader.load(webClientHtml).generate())
At the frontend:
var hostname = window.document.location.hostname;
var host = "ws://" + hostname + ":8000/ws";
var ws = new WebSocket(host);
This leads to ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. I know the port 8000 had to be specified in Openshift 2. The documentation I could find about websocket-ports op Openshift 3 seems to suggest this is no longer necessary, but I can't figure out what to use. I have tried 80 and not specifying a port, but neither works.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
