Websocket Https Problemo

[wirmachenbunt]

is there a way to circumvent this and be able to connect to an "insecure" websocket with ws://
cables is complaining...

[wirmachenbunt]

btw. when i do so via the dev console of chrome with
var webSocket = new WebSocket('ws://192.168.2.121:5555'); webSocket.onmessage = function(data) { console.log(data); }
this works

because console dev tools is not https.

there is no way to circumvent that, you can disable the check in browsers for domains (if this is only for testing):

thanks guys, or i have to go through the pain of making the websocket secure on windows ...
doesn't matter too much, the ios electron cables app i'm building works with the insecure websocket.
cheers

"localhost" is extempt from most of these security things also, if that helps...

you could open it in an electron app, like this:
