Is it possible to use in the browser with ports blocked? #265

Closed mmdevcodes closed 4 years ago

In Chrome for example I get the error Uncaught DOMException: Failed to construct 'WebSocket': The port 6697 is not allowed.

Virtually all IRC servers are on the 6XXX ports. Does this mean it's not possible to use within the browser?

You need to connect to a websocket, not a tcp socket. if you run your own ircd then both inspircd & unrealircd support websockets. The other option is a websocket <-> tcp proxy like webircgateway.

Thanks for replying so fast. It looks like a strictly only browser-based solution without running a server is not possible then. Unfortunate.
