gotchas #59

Vs. native sockets, flash sockets need a '/' after the port, so this fails: ws://myserver:8080?room=blah

but :8080/?room=blah works.

Another one for me was that it wouldn't connect at all unless I was running my server at port 80 (as a test server it's usually on another port). Probably some security thing.

Thanks for a great project!

Thanks for the report. I didn't know it's valid URL :) Fixed with: https://github.com/gimite/web-socket-js/commit/d7ab7546570d83ad7fcd65c84b3dab45d003b6e7

I'm running Web Socket server at port 13000 etc., so it should work. Please check if Flash socket policy file on your server allow connection to the port.
