WS Server using Safari: Status Code 400

[jrstanley]

I am trying to connect to a WebSocketServer. Using Chrome this works fine, but using Safari I am getting an error saying a status code 400 is returned. I believe this might be something to do with the protocol versions, does this library support detecting and using the appropriate protocol for browsers?

Thanks

Which version of Safari are you using?

I have tried using Safari 4.1.3 and 5.1.2 on Mac OS X

Right. Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket#Browser_support, it seems Safari is still lagging behind, and only support the horribly outdated hixie drafts.

ws won't be supporting hixie, as that specification really just has to die.

websocket.io, on the other hand, which falls back to using ws' fast parsers for updated protocols, does support hixie. I suggest you try that :)
