Socket.IO can't connect through https

Question

I have a node.js app, that uses socket.IO. It works fine on http, but when trying to connect to the socket through https - nothing happens.
Here\'s some part of the code

Answer 1

You cannot initalize socket.io server like https server. You have to start a separate https server and then attach socket.io server to it.

var https = require('https'),     
    fs =    require('fs');        

var options = {
    key:    fs.readFileSync('ssl/server.key'),
    cert:   fs.readFileSync('ssl/server.crt'),
    ca:     fs.readFileSync('ssl/ca.crt')
};
var app = https.createServer(options);
io = require('socket.io').listen(app);     //socket.io server listens to https connections
app.listen(8895, "0.0.0.0");
