Answer 1

If you are using Windows IIS, make sure that you have configured it for HTTPS (I'm using self signed certificate), then install reverse proxy:

URL rewrite: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite and ARR 3.0: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/application-request-routing

You also need to enable websockets support in IIS:

create folder (e.g. myproxyfolder) for URL rewrite, on this folder create web.config file with content:

and change "http://127.0.0.1:8080" to your websocket service (I'm using Ratched for PHP on WIN).

On client side in javascript, use secure websockets wss:// protocol, like:

    mysock = new WebSocket('wss://127.0.0.1/myproxyfolder');
