WebSocket provider allows redirect

[davidbrochart]

Hi @dmonad, It looks like if a WebSocket endpoint returns a redirect to another WebSocket endpoint, the WebSocket provider doesn't follow the redirect. Is that correct? If so, would it be possible to allow redirects?

The Websocket API in the browser doesn't have such a configuration, I think..

Not sure how one would implement this.

The Q above seams to explain the situation. The browser usually doesn't follow redirects. You could implement a polyfill that supports redirects as explained in the A above.

FYI: y-websocket accepts a Websocket polyfill.

Interesting, thanks @dmonad !
