[SOLVED]socket.io - websocket custom port

Tom Riddleff

Hi guys!

A question appeared regarding the websockets.
When I deployed app on server - I permanently get 400 Bad request on websocket connection request.
It uses port :80 by default. However 'polling' works well.
ws://mysite.com/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=Bmp017bUrGU9UVQTAAAB

Is it possible to some how force websockets to use another port than '80'?
e.g. ws://mysite.com:8080/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=Bmp017bUrGU9UVQTAAAB

Just a note -- if you have HTTPS active, socket.io will use port 443 instead, which has better compatibility.

Thank you for your note, @julian
I acctually found what I were need.
Adding an appropriate string to config.json - solved my problem.

"socket.io": {
	"address": "http://myforum.com:8000"
}

Thus websocket will use port 8000 on establishing the connection.
One of openshift's bottleneck, that held me up.
Done
