Websockets and Firefox

[jomimota]

Hi,

Websockets problem with browser Firefox, since last Firefox update (Note: Edge works fine). In two different computers I have this message:

Failed connecting to the weather station. Please try again later!

In my two stations and inclusive in Belchertown station (https://belchertownweather.com/).

Anybody have this problem?

Best Regards.

Have you tried debug mode to see if there's any errors? https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown#how-to-use-debug

[jomimota]

The error in console is:

A ligação a wss://mqtt.obrienlabs.net:9001/mqtt foi interrompida durante o carregamento da página. paho-mqtt.min.js:37:250
MQTT: 2023-03-02T15:05:33-05:00: Cannot connect to MQTT broker

Sorry but my browser is in portuguese.

@jomimota your pointing to @poblabs mqtt server... You have to set your own mqtt server or use a public broker.

[jomimota]

I have my own mqtt server and my station is at https://meteo.jorgemota.pt
I showed the problem with wss://mqtt.obrienlabs.net:9001, because the problem is Firefox browser not my instalation.
As I said before with Edge I have no problem.
Did you try Firefox?

I've tested my station on Belchertown 1.3

Works fine in Chrome, Safari and Firefox (macOS)

[jomimota]

I tested with Firefox for Windows with two computers at different locations (networks) with the same result.
Microsoft Edge works fine at both computers.

appears to be an issue with firefox and mosquitto

• The connection to wss://mqtt.jorgemota.pt:9001/mqtt was interrupted while the page was loading.

Yes this is an old thread. What version of mosquito do you use?

[mercurystorm]

mosquitto version 2.0.15

mosquitto is an MQTT v5.0/v3.1.1/v3.1 broker

Might be an old thread, but it shows that its a Firefox / Mosquitto issue and not a Belchertown skin issue

The main difference is you are using http2

HTTP/2 200 OK server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) date: Wed, 08 Mar 2023 11:37:04 GMT content-type: text/html last-modified: Wed, 08 Mar 2023 11:36:15 GMT etag: W/"6408732f-85d8" content-encoding: gzip X-Firefox-Spdy: h2

while I am using HTTP 1.1

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 08 Mar 2023 11:33:49 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains; preload Upgrade: h2 Connection: Upgrade, Keep-Alive Last-Modified: Wed, 08 Mar 2023 11:30:48 GMT ETag: "89e7-5f661dc12f64c-gzip" Accept-Ranges: bytes Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Length: 6825 Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 Content-Type: text/html

If I remember it right, there was an issue with Mosquitto 2.0 while Mosquitto 1.5 works well.

[jomimota]

I have mosquitto version 2.0.15 (I don't know if someone else can test with mosquitto 1.5).
Fireworks on Android 13 give me the same error.

I think the problem is with Firefox (not weewx, belchertown skin or mosquitto).

If I remember it right, there was an issue with Mosquitto 2.0 while Mosquitto 1.5 works well.

We're using 2.0.1.5 too, without any issues.

dpkg -l | grep mosq
ii  libmosquitto1:amd64                   2.0.15a-0mosquitto1~jammy1              amd64        MQTT version 3.1/3.1.1 client library
ii  mosquitto                             2.0.15a-0mosquitto1~jammy1              amd64        MQTT version 3.1/3.1.1 compatible message broker
ii  mosquitto-clients                     2.0.15a-0mosquitto1~jammy1              amd64        Mosquitto command line MQTT clients

if i remember correctly there were problems with firefox or everything from mosquitto must run with SSL if the website also runs with ssl / https. if this is not the case the connection is blocked.

[...]
If the web site is accessible via HTTPS (encrypted), MQTT must also be set to encryption, otherwise it will not work.
[...]

something like...

mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1
mqtt_websockets_host = blub.fuu.foo
mqtt_websockets_port = 9001
mqtt_websockets_ssl = 1
mqtt_websockets_topic = loopi/loop

yepp, here is an other fix...

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1324001

open about:config and search for websockets and edit network.http.spdy.websockets to false and tadaaa...

[whorfin]

At some point this option seems to have gone away in firefox, I had to find network.http.http2.websockets and set that to false
