Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400

[shi-yuan]

Can't find out a solution, I get this error on the browser console:
WebSocket connection to 'ws://.../socket.io/?EIO=2&transport=websocket&sid=p3af7ZNfvogtq6tAAAG0' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400.

Hava any advice ?

I am experiencing the exact same issue at the moment, any help?

I am also having this issue since I installed a SSL cert on my domain.

Here is a better description of the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28025073/error-during-websocket-handshake-unexpected-response-code-400-with-nginx-proxy

Im also having a similar issue connecting with with one of the Android library's. Web sockets won't connect to https through either HAproxy doing ssl termination or letting node do ssl directly. Long polling works fine however

I resolve it by changing the domain to the true IP address:

var socket = io.connect('http://182.92.79.215:3007');

Had the same issue, my app is behind nginx. Making these changes to my Nginx config removed the error.

location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}

Same issue here on production server. Development machines do not show the error.

The strange thing is that the connection is working. I can send messages via WebSockets from the server and the client gets them. I can also see the WebSocket connection being established on the server.

I just get this error in developer tools saying:

WebSocket connection to 'wss://.../socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=2b_v_BXtbwzl5z2yAAAI' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400

I'm using Apache ProxyPass to send connections to node.

Same here - full functional but Error message in dev tools. Somewhere else i read its related to the apache version - using 2.2.14 on this machine.

Make sure you're socket.io connection isn't going through an Amazon Load Balancer. Or if so, do this: http://blog.flux7.com/web-apps-websockets-with-aws-elastic-load-balancing

Same issue here, only in production environment.
Websockets seems to work correctly, the application works without problems. But on console log I can see this error.

I'm using Nginx and only one server for node, so it seems to be not a load balancing problem. I was already using the solution suggested by tylercb (with the exception of "proxy_set_header Host $host;") and it is not solving the issue.

also have problem ,but work well....

I had this same issue. Are you using CloudFlare? Currently, only their Enterprise plan supports WebSockets.
