HTTPS does not seem supported

[kootenpv]

When using the bot.py as a backend, in the logs we get things like:

<gevent._socket3.socket object, fd=18, family=2, type=2049, proto=0>: Invalid http version: '\x16\x03\x01\x02\x00\x01\x00\x01ü\x03\x03\x96@¶§´/CT\x96Nn\x99ÆÓÝ\x12tM\x95\x13X«Ã1°\x1aéÆ7 \x82\x87 :7\x11N\\µ~"J^K/\x8aí\x92\x92\x89\x8b)i¨ìãmäÁ3\xadõ)½\'\x00"jj\x13\x01\x13\x02\x13\x03À+À/À,À0̨̩À\x13À\x14\x00\x9c\x00\x9d\x00/\x005\x00\n'

but only when it is deployed on https (e.g. as a container in Azure).

It reminds me of this issue: miguelgrinberg/Flask-SocketIO#188

Any idea what we can do to patch this? Somehow we have to do something with SSL perhaps?

Weird. We have the chatroom running with HTTPs on several sites. Which version of the Chatroom are you using?

Bot.py is meant only as an example. We typically integrate the channel through Rasa Core's credentials.ymlfile (See https://rasa.com/docs/core/connectors/#using-the-run-script and https://github.com/scalableminds/chatroom#simple-usage-with-a-custom-rasa-core-project-on-cli). I am not sure if this helps, though.

At the end of the day, the latest version of the chatroom does not start a flask server itself. Rather, Rasa Core starts a Flask server and adds the blueprints for each individual channel integration (e.g. Facebook, Slack, Chatroom). Have you tried using one of the standard Rasa Core connectors in your SSL setup to narrow down the problem?

Typically, we have a reverse proxy (such as nginx or AWS ELB) in front of the rasa flask server that handles HTTPS.

Thanks, yea I have used a reverse proxy to solve this. Thanks everyone.
