I want to make an Chat application with Socket.io and I've followed this tutorial: https://youtu.be/ZwFA3YMfkoc. I am using React and Node.js
Everything works fine while using it locally and even on different devices on my Network. However if I am hosting my Backend on Heroku it doesn't work.
The error Message is:
WebSocket connection to 'URL' failed: WebSocket is closed before the connection is established.
(URL is the URL of my Backend with the Port). I am using SSL.
I've already tried to enable session affinity but it already was enabled.
My backend code is: (atleast the code that I think is important to the Problem)
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const io = socketio(server);
app.use(cors());
server.listen(PORT, () => console.log("Server started on " + PORT));
My frontend code is written in React and is:
var connectionOptions = {
"force new connection": true,
reconnectionAttempts: "Infinity",
timeout: 10000,
transports: ["websocket"],
};
const ENDPOINT = "URL";
socket = io(ENDPOINT, connectionOptions);
So I've fixed my Problem.
The URL on the client side had to be without the Port. So for example: const ENDPOINT = "https://web.site.com";
and not: const ENDPOINT = "https://web.site.com:1337";
