Node.js and wss://

wss ssl node.js websocket

I'm looking to start using javascript on the server, most likely with node.js, as well as use websockets to communicate with clients. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information about encrypted websocket communication using TLS and the wss:// handler. In fact the only server that I've seen explicitly support wss:// is Kaazing.

This TODO is the only reference I've been able to find in the various node implementations. Am I missing something or are the websocket js servers not ready for encrypted communication yet?

Another option could be using something like lighttpd or apache to proxy to a node listener, has anyone had success there?

TLS/SSL support works for this websocket implementation in Node.js, I just tested it: https://github.com/Worlize/WebSocket-Node/issues/29
