Origin checks break count.html in Ten minute tutorial via file://

[claremacrae]

Summary

• Expected behaviour: Load count.html from Ten minute tutorial via file://, and get the count displayed
• Actual behaviour: Blank page, with rejected null origin in websocketd console.

From reading #20 comments and https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd/blob/master/help.go, I expected the origin check to be disabled by default.

Detail

I'm working through the Ten minute tutorial.

I've created and tested count.py, and am running it via

websocketd-0.2.9-windows_amd64\websocketd.exe --port 8080 --devconsole python count.py

The test of loading via http://localhost:8080/ works.

However, when I create count.html, copied directly from the tutorial, I get a blank page. (JavaScript is not disabled)

The console output from websocketd says:

Tue, 15 Jul 2014 21:04:59 +0100 | ACCESS | session    | url:'http://localhost:80
80/' id:'1405454699281408400' remote:'PCBlah' command:'C:\Python27\python.exe'
 | rejected null origin

As a separate test, I copied count.html to an existing Apache install, and viewed it via http://localhost:8800/count.html - and it worked fine.

So the problem really does appear to be only access via file://

Thanks! I don't know how I missed it, going to check/fix this shortly.

This code should solve your problem, thanks again!

@asergeyev Thanks very much for doing this.

I had a go at building the latest code to test this, and ended up creating #76 instead.

@asergeyev I've now been able to test the latest - and commit 0d22926 does indeed fix the problem, so think that this can be closed. Thank you!
