ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT from socket.io client

Question

I am using Socket.io 1.4.8, server set up at openshift, and is running well.

I only got it to run after I went in to the socket.io server code and removed the explicit port in the url.

My problem now is that on the socket.io client side, I keep getting this error in the Chrome console:

GET https://nodejstapchat-breathalert.rhcloud.com:8080/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=LN4EN7L net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT socket.io.js:3511

I suspect, it is again the redundant port in the URL. How do I cleanly remove the ":8080" but from the URL?

Please advice if this is actually my problem, or something else.

Answer 1

Not sure the problem is the port, 8080 is the right port. I suggest you to check your Socket.io client code where you access the io var. Try this, replace:

io('https://nodejstapchat-breathalert.rhcloud.com:8080')

simply with:

io()

It should work. Please let me know.
