WebSocket opening handshake was canceled

[bitsan...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I configured JIP.js first to go over WS and not WSS, but the Javascript console in Chrome throws an error that non secured connections are depricated. I then activated WSS in the barebone phone application after configuring my Asterisk server for secured connections and then I get:

WebSocket connection to 'wss://192.168.1.221:8089/ws' failed: WebSocket opening handshake was canceled

Some googling seems to point to the fact that self-signed certificates are used as opposed to official ones.
Can someone confirm you do or you do not need official certificates?

Thank you!

Hi BC,

The easiest way to test this is to visit your WebSocket URL in the browser via HTTPS.  (https://192.168.1.221:8089/ws)  If your browser pops up a warning, you may have a problem.  Self-signed certificates provide secure communications, but don't let the browser verify the identity of the server you're actually talking to.  So, most browsers will create a warning in this situation.  If you manually add an exception (after visiting it via https), then it should start letting the web socket through.  This allows you to test with a self-signed cert, although for production environments, I'd recommend setting up a domain and buying a cert.

Cheers,
