Websockets question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 27.2022

I did a websocket server using Go [here](https://github.com/gorilla/websocket/blob/master/examples/echo/server.go) This code works out of the box on my local computer.

But I do not think that this is a Go question, because this code works on my local computer.

But when moving to a VPS with Nginx proxy this fails. As this seems to “converts” from https:// to wss:// or ws:// I have no clue what I have done wrong. https://ws.go4webdev.org (live)

The console gives this error:

>

WebSocket connection to ‘wss://localhost:8080/echo’ failed:

Any clue how I can make this work?

@sibertauthorSep 30.2022 — I think I found a solution. It seems that Websockets is an old protocol that is only supported by HTTP 1.1 (cannot confirm this). But when added this to the Nginx sites-available, [it seems to work](https://ws.go4webdev.org).

``<i>
</i> location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}<i>
</i>``


If anybody can confirm this, I should be nice to know.

Success!
