Question

Can someone using CF10 confirm if CF10 supports secure websocket wss://?

Answer 1

I checked with Hemant. The answer is no, it is NOT supported now, but it is under progress to be added.

Answer 2

On the basis of there being not a single mention of "secure websocket" or "wss" in the CF10 docs (according to Google), and in all the blogging Ray Camden has done on the topic there is not a single mention of it either, and indeed the only relevant match on all of Google for "cf10 wss" is back to this very question, I would say "no".

But that would be rather an odd implementation omission, I think.

Answer 3

I just tried hacking this on the websocketChannel.js file where the URL is created (line 18)

var lURL="ws://"+(_7e0)+":"+_cf_websocket_port+"/cfusion"+"/cfusion";

tried to do this

var lURL= (location.protocol === "https:" ? "wss" : "ws") + "://"+(_7e0)+":"+_cf_websocket_port+"/cfusion"+"/cfusion";

But alas the wss:// connection would just never connect. BS I tell you .. pure BS!! The only issue really is with IE10 as it will not connect to an unsecured websocket channel initiated from a secure page.
