wss not working with cordova 3.4.0

[zwz]

1. create a cordova project, and install the plugin
2. copy the example/websocket.html comes with the plugin, and replace index.html of the project
3. modify the function init() in index.html as:
   function init() {
   var socket = new WebSocket("wss://echo.websocket.org");
   socket.onopen = function(){
   alert("opend");
   };
   socket.onclose = function(){
   alert("closed");
   };
   }
4. build the project and run it on android phone, it says "closed"
5. but if set the "onload" attribute of the body element in index.html to "init() " and open it directly in chrome, it says "opend"!

I also tried ripple to test the project. Hope the result is helpful:

1. install ripple
2. emulate the project in chrome with the command "ripple emulate"
3. it just shows a dialog saying:

• WebSocket.connect

We seem to be missing some stuff :(

What is kinda cool though you can fill in the textarea to pass a json object to the callback you want to execute

Im also having a problem here. Its just with SSL/wss. Version 3.5.0

I am also experiencing this issue

guys please share your index.html with me on jsfiddle or somewhere else so I can take a closer look.

I think maybe this is related to the ssl cert.
@julisman Where did you get your ssl cert?

I'm experiencing the same issue. My app is on SSL also.

What I got so fare is that if I use the following code (actually tried it in my app):

function init() {
    var socket = new WebSocket("wss://echo.websocket.org");
    socket.onopen = function(){
        alert("opend");
    };
    socket.onclose = function(){
        alert("closed");
    };
}
document.addEventListener("deviceready", init, false);

It does open a connection. If I switch to my own domain, it does not work and the closed alert will fire. This does not work:

function init() {
    var socket = new WebSocket("wss://m.ladestasjoner.no/primus/");
    socket.onopen = function(){
        alert("opend");
    };
    socket.onclose = function(){
        alert("closed");
    };
}
document.addEventListener("deviceready", init, false);

I use primus and ws for web socket transport. If I run the web socket code above which does not work in ex Chrome, it does connect and the opened alert fire. Iow, the example does work from a browser with web socket support but not from our phonegap app with this plugin.

To feed the theory about certificate problems: our certificate is a RapidSSL SHA256 CA - G3 certificate. websockets.org seems to be using a Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2. There is also a difference between TLS versions on our servers (node.js) and the one a websocket.org. Can this problem be bound to TLS versions?

I had this working before we had to update our certificates due to them expiring.

I was able to debug this a bit more (and found a workaround for me). Our servers are at the moment hosted at nodejitsu and there the app is exposed on our own domain and on an additional *.jit.su domain owned by nodejitsu. The *.jit.su domain which our app is exposed at is available at SSL but with a SSL certificate owned by nodejitsu (its a DigiCert Global Root CA).

So, my server app code is running on two domains with two different certificates. I am able to connect to the *.jit.su domain over SSL, but not able to connect to the same app on my own domain over SSL.

iow: this does not work:

function init() {
    var socket = new WebSocket("wss://m.ladestasjoner.no/primus/");
    socket.onopen = function(){
        alert("opend");
    };
    socket.onclose = function(){
        alert("closed");
    };
}
document.addEventListener("deviceready", init, false);

This does work:

function init() {
    var socket = new WebSocket("wss://ladestasjoner-mobile.jit.su/primus/");
    socket.onopen = function(){
        alert("opend");
    };
    socket.onclose = function(){
        alert("closed");
    };
}
document.addEventListener("deviceready", init, false);

Any ideas what can be causing this?
