simple chat : helloworld.html on client side and not on server side.

[yarek chmielewski]

Hello

I got running the simple chat sample on my server.

Great !

My problem is : the client part (the HTML page) is infact on the server (the helloworld.html).

Is is possible to run it locally ? like file:/// and not be hosted on server !

regards

I think that you will run into a browser security violation.  To have a file:/// system serve a page, and then try to access other server(s) via ajax/sockets. The idea is... it protects you from downloading HTML and clicking on it and running some untrusted code that goes out to the internet.

I think that you may have to set up a node.js server on you local machine...

ok, forget about file://

what about http:// access ?

My idea is to run this chat sample on normal 80 port and not using a special port.

Is that possible ?

Yes, it is possible to run the your nodejs server in port 80
as long as no other programs/services using that port, and incoming and outgoing 80 port is open to your system.

Or you can put it behind nginx like:

server {
        server_name  now.local;
        # All R-ead URI's point to 19080 instance
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:19080;
            proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
            proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
        # Adding the nodejs proxy
        location ~* "(/stat/1.gif|/now|/config.json)" {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:29080;
            proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
            proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; 

        } 

So in the above case, anything pointing to /stat/1.gif|/now|/config.json is proxied to http://127.0.0.1:29080

And anything else is proxied to a different application, in my case ikaaro running on 19080.
