Socket.io + SSL + self-signed CA certificate gives error when connecting

Question

I am running an https server using a certificate which was created using a self-signed CA certificate.

Now I want to connect Socket.io client to the Socket.io server

Answer 1

Don’t use self signed certificates. Just don’t, some browsers give you no way of accepting them when using WebSockets. And you look like a cheap d*ck for not buying a proper cert.
