i recently installed uwsgi 2.0.3 on debian via aptitude. now i am trying to run the default websocket example, but the log tells me:

you need to build uWSGI with SSL support to use the websocket handshake api function !!!
[uwsgi-perl error] unable to complete websocket handshake at ...

I am a bit puzzled, since i cannot find a ssl-plugin and i can't see any options to turn on/off ssl-support. I really want to stick with aptitude, installing uwsgi manually is not preferred, beside i have no clue how to enable it manually either.

Does anyone know how to enable uwsgi-ssl support in debian the aptitude way?

btw. i also removed uwsgi with aptitude remove --purge uwsgi installed libssl-dev and reinstalled uwsgi but without luck :(

You must compile uwsgi yourself if you want the SSL support. Debian hasn't packaged a version of uwsgi with SSL support. I know, it's annoying for updates ... but you haven't the choice.

You just need to run apt-get install build-essential python python-dev libssl-dev, then python uwsgiconfig.py ...
