Bind to http server about wsserver HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello @onos9,
Thanks for the compliments =),

About your issue... I'm not very familiar with Node.js and the like so I'm not sure if I understand your question properly.

wsServer does not serve files and is not an HTTP server... so do you want to run wsServer alongside with an HTTP server? if so, just run the two servers normally on different ports, wsServer doesn't need to communicate with the HTTP server or vice versa.

Now, if you want to run both on the same port, you can make a proxy to the websocket server, on Apache it would be something as explained in WebSockets and Apache proxy : how to configure mod_proxy_wstunnel?

But in summary:

1. Activate mod_proxy.so and mod_proxy_wstunnel.so modules: in your Apache configuration file, uncomment the lines:

LoadModule proxy_module /path/to/lib
LoadModule proxy_wstunnel_module /path/to/lib

2. In your VirtualHost, add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    # Your configs

    # WebSocket tunnel
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]
    RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:8080/$1 [P,L]
</VirtualHost>

3. Start/Restart your Apache server.

This way, you will still have wsServer running on port 8080, but Apache will receive all connections on port 80 and those related to WebSocket, will be forwarded to wsServer on 8080 =).

I'm quite sure there is something similar for other servers like Nginx and so on.

It's been almost 8 months and I haven't received any reply.

Sorry, but I'm going to close this issue. Feel free to reopen it again with more information or create a new issue.
