I'm trying to get socket.io running with my SSL certificate however, it will not connect.
I based my code off the chat example:
var https = require('https');
var fs = require('fs');
/**
* Bootstrap app.
*/
var sys = require('sys')
require.paths.unshift(__dirname + '/../../lib/');
/**
* Module dependencies.
*/
var express = require('express')
, stylus = require('stylus')
, nib = require('nib')
, sio = require('socket.io');
/**
* App.
*/
var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('../key').toString();
var certificate = fs.readFileSync('../crt').toString();
var ca = fs.readFileSync('../intermediate.crt').toString();
var app = express.createServer({key:privateKey,cert:certificate,ca:ca });
/**
* App configuration.
*/
...
/**
* App routes.
*/
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.render('index', { layout: false });
});
/**
* App listen.
*/
app.listen(443, function () {
var addr = app.address();
console.log(' app listening on http://' + addr.address + ':' + addr.port);
});
/**
* Socket.IO server (single process only)
*/
var io = sio.listen(app,{key:privateKey,cert:certificate,ca:ca});
...
If I remove the SSL code it runs fine, however with it I get a request to http://domain.com/socket.io/1/?t=1309967919512
Note it's not trying https, which causes it to fail.
I'm testing on chrome, since it is the target browser for this application.
I apologize if this is a simple question, I'm a node/socket.io newbie.
Thanks!
Use a secure URL for your initial connection, i.e. instead of "http://" use "https://". If the WebSocket transport is chosen, then Socket.IO should automatically use "wss://" (SSL) for the WebSocket connection too.
Update:
You can also try creating the connection using the 'secure' option:
var socket = io.connect('https://localhost', {secure: true});
