"Rejected Null Origin"

[popey456963]

I get this when running your example application. This is after connecting to it with your sample HTML code. Running Windows 7, Norton 360, Realising that I haven't specified port and it's defaulted to 80. Connect to webpage, says SSL error. 403 forbidden. First tried it with port 8080, same error. This is after trying to access it. Any other details, please do ask for.

TEMP FIX -

./websocketd --port=8080 --staticdir html --loglevel=debug ./count.sh 

[asergeyev]

That's pretty odd (defaults should allow pretty much any origin and let things work)... Any chance you could run it with --loglevel=debug and send us txt file with dumped output?

I'm seeing this issue as well on OS X Yosemite.

Here's w/ debug loglevel enabled

Interesting. Looks like a bug in 0.2.9 ; fixed since...
0d22926

Those who affected so far could not use file:// pages from some of the browsers.
I guess we need to tag new version shortly.

[asergeyev]

Workaround for now is to use something like this (copy count.html to dir named "html")

./websocketd --port=8080 --staticdir html --loglevel=debug ./count.sh 

then use http://localhost:8080/count.html to use that page that you were loading from file:// url.

[popey456963]

Okay, thanks for that! Leaving this open until a more permanent solution is found.

[lifeofbrian]

Thanks @asergeyev. I confirm that this solution you've provided works.

[damondouglas]

I was able to get it to work as:

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
$ $ websocketd --port=8080 ./count.sh

then open http://localhost:8000/

[Abundnce10]

I also used the same approach as @damondouglas (above) and that solved it for me.

[asergeyev]

Best solution is to install go, do

go get github.com/joewalnes/websocketd

and run websocketd from your $GOHOME/bin

[asergeyev]

@lifeofbrian, @damondouglas , @popey456963 , @Abundnce10

Any chance you could try pre-released 0.2.10?
https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd/releases/tag/v0.2.10

[damondouglas]

@asergeyev Works! Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.

[joewalnes]

Awesome!

Also, more gifs should be on this issue tracker. Looks great!

[asergeyev]

Wow.. What was the tool to record this? :)

[SchallerJe]

I would recommend "licecap" (http://www.cockos.com/licecap/) for gif recording. It works like a charm on OS X and Windows.

[lifeofbrian]

Thanks for getting this fix in!

[damondouglas]

@asergeyev I used gtk-recordmydesktop. Then I used ffmpeg:

$ ffmpeg -i <ogv> -s <height>x<width> -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 --delay=3 > out.gif

where <ogv> is the output from gtk-recordmydesktop and <height>, <width> displays from the video file properties.

@SchallerJe , Yes "licecap" is awesome and I use it at work for Windows.
