This is likely due to mixed secure/insecure content. If the client is browsing your site over HTTPS, then the websocket connection needs to be secure (WSS) as well, or it won't work with most browsers.
I believe that Rick has WSS proxies available: http://proxy.ftelnet.ca/
If you're using the websocket service that comes with Synchronet, you can put it behind an HTTPS reverse proxy such as nginx; this is what I do.
i try to use this settings on nginx with no succes , change the ftelnet websockert proxy port to 1124 (1123 is the original synchronet websocket) and can connect, any idea?.
server { listen 1124 ssl; server_name bbs.docksud.com.ar ssl on; location / { # prevents 502 bad gateway error proxy_buffers 8 32k; proxy_buffer_size 64k; # redirect all HTTP traffic to localhost:8088; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:1123; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; #proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; # enables WS support proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_read_timeout 999999999; } }
ftelnet part:
var host = "bbs.docksud.com.ar"; fTelnet.Hostname = host; fTelnet.Port = 23; fTelnet.ProxyHostname = host; //fTelnet.ProxyPort = 1123; fTelnet.ProxyPort = 1124; fTelnet.Init();
Those settings look similar to what I have.
Something strange is happening on your site though; when I try to use fTelnet, it attempts to connect to:
wss://bbs.docksud.com.ar:11235/bbs.docksud.com.ar/23
On my site, I don't use the fTelnet.ProxyHostname or fTelnet.ProxyPort settings. Maybe try commenting those out, and setting fTelnet.Port to 1124 or even 1123 and see if it helps.
Sorry, no experience with proxying with nginx like that so can't help.
echicken is right though: ProxyHostname and ProxyPort shouldn't be used, unless you're connecting through one of my public proxies. If you comment those out you may have better luck.
I move my http server to https and fTelnet do no work. Any chance to make it work on both http and https?
work: http://bbs.docksud.com.ar/telnet/
do not work: https://bbs.docksud.com.ar/telnet/
ftelnet is fantastic! thanks!
