WSS support

[rgillan]

Support for WSS, with a preference to selecting either WS or WSS by the prefix in the URL parameter

@rgillan I think I will have to wait with this until some cases in https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/ are done. In particular I would like to get this merged first: https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/issues/155

Michal,

This is the one to watch: https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/pull/205

This was tested a couple of weeks ago and hopefully will make it in soon. We are still trying to get to the bottom of the larger packet size failing.

First off, thank you for this great plugin which has allowed me to connect to both ws:// and wss:// websockets in Android 4.0 and above. I haven't tested anything lower. I was able to get WSS working by modifying the CordovaClient constructor by adding this code:

//We must use a secure socket for a wss:// URI
if (serverURI.getScheme().equals("wss")) {
  try {
    SSLContext sslContext = null;
    sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance( "TLS" );
    sslContext.init( null, null, null ); // will use java's default key and trust store which is sufficient unless you deal with self-signed certificates
    SSLSocketFactory factory = sslContext.getSocketFactory();// (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
    this.setSocket(factory.createSocket());
  } catch (Exception e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
  }
}

Is this a reasonable solution to the problem of connecting to WSS? What would the preferred approach be to get wss:// working?

Thanks, Andy

@aburtnett I tried your code, but I am getting setSocket is undefined error. Where is it defined? Thanks

[MayurChandra]

@aburtnett I am not able to get wss working using SSL certificates so am intrigued how you managed it on Android. Any help?

[mkuklis]

@aburtnett thank you for your snippet. It will be helpful to add WSS support. The recent version of Java-Websocket has changed so I will have to take another look at it. I plan to add the WSS support by the end of this week. I will probably use part of your code. Thanks again!

[aburtnett]

Do you have the latest java_websocket.jar? The WebSocketClient.setSocket() method was only added a few days ago in this commit:

https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/commit/60425255a37b1ee95260ed54b6d13925c05d8225#diff-1d71083456e5001270f1e266bf262b1f

@aburtnett yes I believe the current jar https://github.com/mkuklis/phonegap-websocket/tree/master/libs includes that already.

[MayurChandra]

@mkuklis is it possible to update the old websocket code to work with wss? I am using Phonegap v2.5 and have loads of other plugins that work with that version. If I upgrade to PG3 then my other plugins would stop working. I trust your excellent WS plugin and would love to use it with Phonegap 2.5 with wss support. Any help? Thanks.

@aburtnett Thanks, I have not updated my Phonegap!

[MayurChandra]

@mkuklis Please can you update the old 2.xx version of your WS plugin to use latest jar? Would be so useful! Thanks.

[MayurChandra]

@aburtnett @mkuklis Just tried the latest jar with 2.5 of Phonegap and it works with SSL Certificates on v2.2 of Android. Tried it on v4.3 and v4.1.2 of Android. The changes @aburtnett made, works well. Thank you both!

[mkuklis]

@rgillan I just pushed a little change based on the @aburtnett's snippet which adds wss support (only known providers - not self sign). If you could give it a try and report back if it works for you that would be great.

[rgillan]

Michal,

This is now working, thanks so much. We are using a signed certificate btw.

Cheers Rob

[mkuklis]

@rgillan cool thanks for letting me know.
