Websocket insecure (Firefox only) #7

Closed tjhrulz closed 1 year ago

tjhrulz commented 7 years ago

Since Firefox checks that any websockets on a secure page are also secure any Firefox user would need to go to the about:config page in Firefox and set network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS to true.

I am sorry that you have to do this for the time being, but using a self signed SSL Certificate would likely throw more errors even though the connection is only over localhost.

Is there a way to use letsencrypt? Because I don't intend to gut security systems to make this work.

Is this because http is being used to send info to localhost?

Is this because http is being used to send info to localhost? letsencrypt for every user that installs? secure websocket connections works a bit differently. it is just because the ws connection goes thru another address, and to be accepted on a secure website it should also be connecting to a secure socket (wss)
