Why won't my app establish websocket connection on Heroku?

Question

I am trying to deploy my nodejs app on heroku. I cannot get the websocket connection to establish. I have read everything I could find, tried every example and none of them

Answer 1

Well I figured it out. Here is what you should know:

• I did not change my server configurations from my original post.

My client configurations looked like this:

var host = location.origin.replace(/^http/, 'ws');
this.connection = new WebSocket(host);

But here is the kicker. On the terminal I used the following command:

heroku labs:enable websockets

And voila, it works! I hope this helps someone.
