    var connect = function () {

        log('connect');

        var oldWs = ws;

        ws = new config.constructor(url, protocols);

thats part of what the error points me to in google tools: 

(index):182 Disconnected from chat socket

VM170 websocketbridge.js:118 WebSocket connection to 'ws://www.openchat.us/chat/stream/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Invalid status line

Not sure if Web sockets have this problem, but I've seen invalid handshake errors come about when one side is using HTTPS and the other is just using HTTP. Perhaps connect to wss:// instead of ws://? I think that's the secure protocol for web sockets.

hi james im going off of andrew godwins django channels example on github the multi chat example and using Webfactions hosting services. 

im  getting the error of the websocket being closed

I know your saying to maybe chaning it to wss instead of ws do you mean to change it in the javascript that is in the django channels github for multichat js file ?

TBH, I have no idea. I've never worked with channels. I was speaking more from a broader web application experience and typical HTTP calls.

I highly doubt any code changes in the actual library are needed.

Does the Django runserver console  notice the incoming connection? It may provide a clue or traceback. A brief overview of the docs indicates that the Django processes proxies the connection to the channels workers, do is imagine something would come up there. Beyond that I can't be much help.
