Seeing what’s happening on the server side now. Websocket opens and immediately closes. The version number is not the issue. Connection is not persisting.
a couple of days ago i pushed a fix for that error “attempt to index local ‘params’ (a string value)” – not sure when you last updated from github.
also on github near the top of the ReadMe i have listed a couple of ways you can PM me. you can use one of them to send me a zip of your code. i’d like to get you to a point where the connection is stable (or find out why it’s not), then you can continue your work from there.
thanks, dmc
Downloaded and installed your latest version. Looks like that did it.
Encoded and sent a JSON string and received a JSON string back. Server side Java websocket persisting now as well.
Important step forward. Thanks for all your support. Will keep you posted.

Hello,
My app works with websockets on corona simulator, but I soon as I build it and launch it on my iPhone6, I have the following error messages :

It occurs with the one and only require line :

Is this a bug, or is there anything I may have done wrong ? (it works very well on simulator).
Thanks,
Olivier
hi Olivier, thanks for putting this on github. i’m just going to continue this over there, but:
one thing i notice from the traceback is that the open SSL library isn’t getting loaded. that comes from Corona Labs itself and is imported using the build.settings file. looking at the ‘echo’ example, it looks like the import for the SSL lib is missing from the build.settings file. 
i will update the example.
for now, you can look at the the settings file for the ‘pusher’ example and use that instead.
Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, openssl is a plugin only available for PRO subscribers. Is there a way not to use this plugin in websockets ?
Thanks.
Hey dmc,
Just posting to verify that I was successful in reverse engineering the NetLogo Hubnet Protocol through the websocket. We can now connect with NetLogo models via the Hubnet-Web extension.
Thanks for your help and your great work.
Best,
–Scot
hey Scot,
that’s fantastic news ! i’m glad to hear that your project is going well. thanks for the kudos, too. 
cheers, dmc

Unfortunately, openssl is a plugin only available for PRO subscribers. Is there a way not to use this plugin in websockets ?
Thanks.
the library has been updated to not autoload the SSL plugin at the start, only when accessing a secure URL.
