I've been trying to run Ratchet.io over SSL (this problem: php ratchet websocket SSL connect?).
My webserver is running at myhost.mobi, and I have created a separate virtual host for websocket service "wws.myhost.mobi".
My web socket:
$webSock = new React\Socket\Server($loop);
$webSock->listen(8080, '0.0.0.0');
$webServer = new Ratchet\Server\IoServer(
new Ratchet\Http\HttpServer(
new Ratchet\WebSocket\WsServer(
new Ratchet\Wamp\WampServer(
$pusher
)
)
),
$webSock
);
My nginx config (I'm on nginx 1.5.8):
upstream websocketserver {
server localhost:8080;
}
server {
server_name wss.myapp.mobi;
listen 443;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/myapp-mobi-ssl.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/myapp-mobi.key;
access_log /var/log/wss-access-ssl.log;
error_log /var/log/wss-error-ssl.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://websocketserver;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_read_timeout 86400; # neccessary to avoid websocket timeout disconnect
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
My client-side script:
var conn = new ab.Session('wss://wss.myapp.mobi', function(o) {
// ...
}, function() {
console.warn('WebSocket connection closed');
}, {
skipSubprotocolCheck: true
});
So, when I load the page in Firefox, I see an outgoing connection to wss://wss.myapp.mobi:8080/, which is hanging (the spinner) and never completes or dies. I do not see any trace of request arriving on the backend in the logs.
What am I missing there?
Thanks!
EDIT I have realized that I should be connecting to wss://wss.myapp.mobi, but now I am getting "101 Switching Protocols" status.
EDIT 2 Everything is working now with the config above. "101 Switching Protocols" status turns out to be a normal message. PROBLEM SOLVED!
