Answer 1

The https module is rejecting your self-signed cert (as one would hope). You can force it to stop checking by passing a rejectUnauthorized: false option (which WebSocket will pass down to https):

var ws = new WebSocket('wss://localhost:15449/', {
  protocolVersion: 8,
  origin: 'https://localhost:15449',
  rejectUnauthorized: false
});
