Does not work over HTTPS (on Heroku)

[TravelingTechGuy]

Just added the route to an Express app I have deployed to Heroku and I'm getting the following error (repeated every second):

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://mysitename.herokuapp.com/status' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://mysitename.herokuapp.com:41338/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=LQPzECX'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://mysitename.herokuapp.com:41338/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=LQPzECX. Failed to start loading.

Can you maybe provide a way to specify whether the Socket.io call be made over HTTPS, or better yet, handle this automatically?

Good point, I'll fix that asap!

Thanks! Have you published the fix to NPM?

[RafalWilinski]

I've just pushed version 0.0.7

[TravelingTechGuy]

Cheers mate!

Just checked the latest version - doesn't work. If I browse to my web site without specifying http/https in the address page, and then add the '/status' route, I get GET http://www.mysite.com:41338/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=LQQXZPh net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

^^ experiencing this issue as well. Firewall is open, but my SSL cert doesn't like this being in http

[TravelingTechGuy]

Please reopen the issue. It still occurs. I suspect it may have something to do with the port number, and the way it's specified.

[RafalWilinski]

Sorry for that, I'll try to fix that.
