cannot register an url host

[nqd]

May be i am missing something, then i cannot connect to a redis broker except localhost. This is the log from an attempt to connect to a redis url:

["listen","open",{"url":"name://pass@abcxyz.redislabs.com:16832/my-topic","timeout":21667,"type":"redis","host":"localhost","port":6379,"role":"transport","hook":"listen"},{"private$":{},"did":"(vetyo82c85kx)","fixedargs":{"plugin$":{"name":"transport","tag":"-"}},"context":{}}]

This is the setup for the server:

var seneca = require('seneca')({
  transport: {
    redis: {
      // you can use The URL of the Redis server. Format:-
      url: 'name://pass@abcxyz.redislabs.com:16832/my-topic'
    }
  }
})
.use('redis-transport')
.listen({type: 'redis'}

Could you please give me some hint about this issue. Many thanks.

Hi @nqd

i think the problem with the protocol of the url, as per your example you are using "name" protocol, however it should be 'redis'.

so for your example this url should work (notice the redis instead of name) url: 'redis://pass@abcxyz.redislabs.com:16832/my-topic'

apologies for the late response Regards
