does xsockets work on azure web sites ?

[JohnK]

Hello,

I tried a demo project and deployed to azure websites (I am using the developer license).

But it was not working.

I enabled web sockets on azure and configured the xsockets connection url accordingly (left port number the same).

Is it not working because i used the free developer license?

Would like some confirmation that it works on azure web sites, before going for a commercial license.

Thanks

Hi John

XSockets work on Azure websites, but you do not need to enable websockets on Azure since xsockets uses its own websocket protocol... Not the one from microsoft.

Only time you need to enable websockets on Azure is if you use the Owin host of xsockets.

However, I recomend you to host xsockets in a worker role instead of in the website.
