if you are receiving this error client side in the browser console, you can safely ignore it - it means that your hosting does not support websockets and meteor will fallback to using long polling instead

meteor apps deployed to heroku or any other platform without websockets will get the same error

update: as of meteor v0.6.4 you can now set the environment variable DISABLE_WEBSOCKETS to prevent this attempt from occurring if you know it will fail

https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/History.md

If you set the DISABLE_WEBSOCKETS environment variable, browsers will not attempt to connect to your app using Websockets. Use this if you know your server environment does not properly proxy Websockets to reduce connection startup time.
