Why this server cannot work with iOS4.2 on ipad?

Hi, your server works excellently on Chrome and even IE 8, however, it doesnt work on iPad with iOS 4.2, where i think websocket is already supported. Do you know why?

Are you sure? I just tested this with iOS 4.3 on the iPhone (which should have the same WebSocket features like iPad/4.2). Are you on the same network (maybe the phone provider blocks WS requests)?

I tested on my iPad with iOS 4.2.1 and it doesn't work...
However, my iPad can run the websocket test on this site: http://websocket.org/echo.html
....

Also, I am using WIFI instead of 3G...

Can you try ws://ws.kaiser.me:8000/echo on the test site?

[imruiyeah]

Yes! It works! Is your server the same with this php-websocket? Then it is strange...I just downloaded your code and changed the IP...

[nicokaiser]

This is a php-websocket server, yes. Strange, maybe you have to use the IP instead of "localhost" on the server, or the port is blocked by a firewall?

Thank you.
However, I already changed the IP to my own, and also this websocket server is compatible with the Chrome on my PC...only not work my iPad...
Strange enough... Thank you very much for your help! Maybe I need some extra configuration at the server? will try to fix it.

Hi, I found that the problem is my server. As I used the server in my university, I need to connect to a VPN first...
Thank you so much for your help!
