I am running (check any that apply, put an x inside the [ ] to check a box, like this: [x]):

• [ ] Windows
• [ ] OSX
• [ ] Linux
• [x] Other

and using

• [x] The nodejs version
• [ ] The single file executable

Before posting I read issue guidelines and:

• [x] I am using the newest version
• [x] The answer to my question isn't listed in the documentation or this isn't a question
• [x] This is not a duplicate issue
• [x] I have not done anything that required me to set acceptance to I Will Not Get Tech Support For This

It could be related to #101

I successfully used following configuration.

• Tiddlywiki - 5.1.21
• Bob - 1.2.2 with a single line patch

The configuration settings are:

• Caddyfile

  phone.local:8080 {
  tls /data/data/com.termux/files/home/etc/phone.crt /data/data/com.termux/files/home/etc/phone.key
  basicauth /wiki "user" mypassword
  proxy /wiki 127.0.0.1:8090 {
  websocket
  }

• settings/settings.json

  "ws-server": {
  "port": 8090,
  "host": "127.0.0.1",
  "autoIncrementPort": false,
  "pathprefix": "/wiki"
  },
  "heartbeat": {
  "interval": 1000
  },

Today I decided to upgrade to recent versions. I read the documentation and glanced at Bob's code to figure out that I need to provide "proxyprefix": "/wiki" in "ws-server" section. However I couldn't make it work. The wiki loads but there is a red banner saying that it cannot connect to server. Also there are messages in webconsole about not being able to connect to wss socket.

I tried following combinations

• Tiddlywiki 5.1.21, Bob 1.3.0
• Tiddlywiki 5.1.22, Bob master
• Tiddlywiki master, Bob master
• Tiddlywiki master, Bob 1.3.2
• Tiddlywiki 5.1.21, Bob 1.2.4

I tried patching Bob in the same way and added debugging log statements. As far as I can tell the wss connection string is formed correctly. Nevertheless it doesn't work.

I successfully rolled back to my previous setup but would like to help out to figure out the problem.

I have rewritten how Bob handles proxies so it shouldn't require special configuration in the next release. I have only been able to test it on my custom home network setup so I don't know if it will fix the problems in any other setup.
