Websocket connection error

[ViralBShah]

I am behind a firewall, and get this. I wonder if we can have a more seamless experience for folks behind firewalls - of course, each one has its own quirk.

Some comments from #59:

There is an IPython issue with some relevant discussion: ipython/ipython#2321

Some possible options:

• proxying via nginx (used for JuliaBox?): http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/ipython-dev/2013-August/012219.html
• http://websocketstest.com/ tells me that the only option is port 8080, but not sure if the IPython websocket port can be changed - see: Custom web socket host/port ipython/ipython#6001

The switch to SSL has fixed this. Now the firewall does not know it is a websocket connection!

Sorry to revive this - I'm actually having this problem in a fresh install, and not sure which switch to SSL you are referencing.....

@mturok for a local install, you may be need to do the same as #307 if you see websocket errors.

Thank you. I actually tried that....was starting juliabox with
http://localhost, where localhost is my Ubuntu 14.04 running under
virtualbox on a Windows host.

Do I need to start juliabox with a fqdn name and use the fix below?

Yes. That should most likely fix it.

If that doesn't. the other thing to check is whether your proxy/firewall configuration allow websockets in general.

Thank you again! Will try in NYC am. Great and simple design here for
something fairly sophisticated.

Let's move the discussion to a new issue if we need to continue debugging.

[mturok]

Just an fyi that the issue was elated to the proxy server we have combined
with the need for a fqdn. Not much more to debug but maybe something for
the README?

Thanks. Yes, I think it should be mentioned in the setup steps.
