java.net.MalformedURLException: Unknown protocol: ws

[Zo2m4bie]

Hi. i try to connect to socket server which start with "ws://..." and when I set this url to

 IO.socket(pathSocket, options);

I receive error

 java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.MalformedURLException: Unknown protocol: ws
 W/System.err﹕ at io.socket.client.Url.parse(Url.java:52)
 W/System.err﹕ at io.socket.client.IO.socket(IO.java:60)
 W/System.err﹕ at io.socket.client.IO.socket(IO.java:41)

Ah, I didn't know URL doesn't accept ws. It's a bug, please use http:// url for now.

[Zo2m4bie]

Also the same problem with wss://

[Zo2m4bie]

Can I wait this fix soon?

[Zo2m4bie]

I wanted t ofix it by myself but there're not all class in project

[nkzawa]

Just use http:// or https://. They are actually the same with ws:// and wss:// .

we use the websocket can connect wss:// , but use this library ,can't connect the "https://" , no any reponse,can you help ?

+1, this is causing heavy issues on socket servers: losing a lot of CPU on back and forth requests upgrading the connexion. This is a major issue when you have a lot of conn/second

This is caused by java.net.URL not knowing how to open a connection towards a ws:// stream. It could be solved by using java.net.URI instead, which is what the Java-WebSocket library uses.

We are using Socket.io 1.4.5 and this library on Android client. For connection string we are using http(s), but it switches to ws automatically with these setup:

    IO.Options opts = new IO.Options();
    opts.transports = new String[]{ WebSocket.NAME};
    return IO.socket("https://socket.io.server", opts);

@jvilya hi,I have tried your code above,but it doesn't work.
Is the code used in android client?
