Hello @dirkcgrunwald !
Looking at changes you made, I suppose that beside others, these 8 grouped lines (from 150 to 158) are the necessary part to be C9 compatible. Others are refinements. Is this correct?

There are 2-3 others parts that are needed.
In if 'C9_HOSTNAME' in os.environ:
-
key = data.decode().split('sec-websocket-key: ')[1].split('\r\n')[0] -
else: -
key = data.decode().split('Sec-WebSocket-Key: ')[1].split('\r\n')[0]
it appears that the C9 proxy makes the response headers in lower case. It's also possible to use a try...except to try the upper case, fail and then revert to lower case.
In addition, in the default setup, if you use '0.0.0.0' as the host IP, remi changes this to 127.0.0.1, which isn't proxied. The user doesn't know the IP address of their server because of the proxy, so they need to leave '0.0.0.0' as an option. I had guarded those changes with checks for the C9 environment.
This may all be moot since C9 is being changed to AWS Cloud and I think those don't use the proxy.

@dirkcgrunwald Thank you so much for your contribution! Other people requested this feature previously and I was unable to fix. I merged it in a specific branch "dirkcgrunwald-c9", to make it available to other users. I will remove some specific C9 vars and separate the SVG related commits, than I will merge it to master (when I will have some time available). |
Cloud9 is a web IDE environment that uses a proxied connection that causes the base REMI library to not work correctly. It has a couple of other odd quirks. This PR fixes things such that people can use REMI in c9 - we're planning on this for some of our intro CS classes. There are probably better solutions and I'd be happy to modify things to such a solution (e.g. I'm using C9 environment variables to conditionalize specific actions, and it may make sense to use some notion of different "operating environments" since my proxy-aware code is C9 specific).
