[WebSocket] SYNTAX_ERR: invalid url: wss://... about etherpad-lite HOT 6 CLOSED

Ok, the issue is that "this.base.options.port" is empty:

node_modules/socket.io/support/socket.io-client/socket.io.js:819:    + ':' + this.base.options.port

When setting the port to 443 manually it works using Firefox and Opera*.

• Unfortunately Opera only shows the Pad, GUI, Colors, etc. but doesn't seem to send status updates (no error found in any log)

And here is a quickfix:

You should submit that to the socket.io repository.

You might be right, although the "fix" is very ugly and doesn't solve the root cause. Anyway: socketio/socket.io#161 (hope this is the correct repository).

It might not like the way I'm initalizing socket.io https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/blob/master/static/js/pad2.js#L63 - I will experiment tomorrow with that.

I think I solved that with this commit Pita/etherpad-lite@18ec4da
