php ratchet websocket SSL connect?

Question

I have a ratchet chat server file

use Ratchet\\Server\\IoServer;
use Ratchet\\WebSocket\\WsServer;
use MyAppChat\\Chat;
require dirname(__DIR__) . \'/vendor/         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that React (which Ratchet is built on) does not support direct SSL connections. See this issue.

There is a simple workaround. Use stunnel with a config like:

[websockets]
accept = 8443
connect = 8888

Stunnel will handle SSL traffic on port 8443 and port them to your websocket server.
