Belchertown Skin, Websockets, Firefox Fail to Connect

[gary....@gmail.com]

I have a curious issue here.

I normally use Edge from Windows 10 to browse. All is working fine.

I use Firefox in troubleshooting and browsed to my weather page.

No connection to the websocket feed.

Open Edge, no problem. Chrome from my phone, no problem. Safari from my wife's iPhone, no problem.

Disabled all plugins in Firefox, still get  Failed connecting to the weather station. Please try again later!

Tried from a Linux machine using Firefox, same result.

Any ideas?

I have no problem with any browsers, including Firefox. I'm using secured websockets.

The only problem I have is with Microsoft Edge, WS will not work when I connect my OpenVPN, same message as you got (Firefox works). I still don't know the reason.

I mean Microsoft Edge chromium.

Odd that one browser for each of us refuses to connect.
I'm not using a VPN, so yours works fine without the VPN but fails when you use it?

With or without openvpn, all works fine for all browsers, except MS Edge, Chromium, developer edition not working if having openvpn connected. Strange.

Interesting, it fails for me too in Firefox. It could be the version of the MQTT Websocket library you're using in 1.1. In 1.2 there are some updates to the MQTT websockets code.

My site - belchertownweather.com - is using the latest development 1.2 release candidate and it works for me in Firefox. Give the development version a try - note 1.2 is focused on using Aeris Weather as a forecast provider, however DarkSky is supported. Please read the readme for the new skin.conf variables to be used and changelog for all the breaking changes so far in this upgrade.

Puzzling thing is, I just installed the latest version of the skin and it still fails in Firefox. At the same time, Pat's site loads and works fine.
