Bot Framework Getting Internal Error Code 500

Question

I wanted to try the new bot framework by microsoft. I made a simple bot and registered it in bot connector. When I now want to test my bot on the dev.framework.com site I get this message back:

{
 "error": {
    "code": "Internal",
    "message": "An error occurred while sending the request. Unable to connect to the remote server An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions 172.17.1.41:3978  [GSisZ6ZkL7d]",
    "statusCode": 500
 }
}

This is my app.js:

var builder = require('botbuilder');
var restify = require('restify');
var index = require('./dialogs/index.js');

var bot = new builder.BotConnectorBot({ appId: 'myAppId', appSecret: 'myAppSecret' });
bot.add('/', index);

var server = restify.createServer();
server.post('/api/messages',  bot.listen());
server.listen(process.env.port || 8080, process.env.ip, bot.verifyBotFramework(), function () {
    console.log('%s listening to %s', server.name, server.url); 
});

When I run my app on openshift I get the console log "restify listening to https://myipaddress:8080", so I guess my node app is working.

I also tried both https and http as endpoint with calling the bot.verifyBotFramework() and without.

Seems like the endpoint maps to the incorrect port (3978) but OpenShift may allow port 8080 only to connect from the public web? — Eugene

Try using http instead of https for local emulator
