Does this actually works in the webplayer?

[hex]

I cannot get this working in the webplayer. I tried by using the the example script provided. Everything works inside the unity editor (webplayer platform) but once you export it and put it live it stops working.

All I get is Error initializing handshake.

Has anyone used this with success inside the webplayer?

@hex i'm having dificulties with this as well.. Works in editor but not in the webplayer

@hex good news! we managed to make the web player work in the browser. I haven't reviewed the code so this is what i got from the friend who fixed the issue: The problem was that when we did downloadstring, in the browser, the timeout was too short and the connection was cut . You'll have to get in there and modify it. This explanation may be a cutdown version so you'll have to check it yourself.

@badescuga Could you further explain how you fixed it please? I have been trying for a week so far no success, it would be very helpful :)

@hammouche-hicham Basically we replaced a part inside the requestHandshake inside Client.cs (line 617) method by using the UnityHTTP library.

current _requestHandshake_ method

    protected SocketIOHandshake requestHandshake(Uri uri)
        {
            string value = string.Empty;
            string errorText = string.Empty;
            SocketIOHandshake handshake = null;

            using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
            { 
                try
                {
                    ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => {
                        return true;
                    };

                    value = client.DownloadString(string.Format("{0}://{1}:{2}/socket.io/1/{3}", uri.Scheme, uri.Host, uri.Port, uri.Query)); // #5 tkiley: The uri.Query is available in socket.io's handshakeData object during authorization
                    // 13052140081337757257:15:25:websocket,htmlfile,xhr-polling,jsonp-polling
                    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
                        errorText = "Did not receive handshake string from server";
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    errorText = string.Format("Error getting handsake from Socket.IO host instance: {0}", ex.Message);
                    //this.OnErrorEvent(this, new ErrorEventArgs(errMsg));
                }
            }
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(errorText))
                handshake = SocketIOHandshake.LoadFromString(value);
            else
            {
                handshake = new SocketIOHandshake();
                handshake.ErrorMessage = errorText;
            }

            return handshake;
        }

using UnityHTTP library _requestHandshake_ method

        protected SocketIOHandshake requestHandshake(Uri uri)
        {
            string value = string.Empty;
            string errorText = string.Empty;
            SocketIOHandshake handshake = null;
            try {
                HTTP.Request handshakeRequest = new HTTP.Request("get", string.Format("{0}://{1}:{2}/socket.io/1/{3}", uri.Scheme, uri.Host, uri.Port, uri.Query));
                handshakeRequest.synchronous = true;
                handshakeRequest.Send((request) => {
                    value = request.response.Text;
                });
                //value = client.DownloadString(string.Format("{0}://{1}:{2}/socket.io/1/{3}", uri.Scheme, uri.Host, uri.Port, uri.Query)); // #5 tkiley: The uri.Query is available in socket.io's handshakeData object during authorization
                // 13052140081337757257:15:25:websocket,htmlfile,xhr-polling,jsonp-polling
                if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) {
                    errorText = "Did not receive handshake string from server";
                }
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                errorText = string.Format("Error getting handsake from Socket.IO host instance: {0}", ex.Message);
            }

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(errorText)) {
                handshake = SocketIOHandshake.LoadFromString(value);
            } else {
                handshake = new SocketIOHandshake();
                handshake.ErrorMessage = errorText;
            }

            return handshake;
        }

Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Guys for webplayer, how you managed to solve "System.Security.SecurityException: Unable to connect, as no valid crossdomain policy was found" error. I can't get handshake because of this error.

I have crossdomain.xml file inside of my root folder. and it has following codes which is in ASCII coded, although it is not working. I am trying to connect socket.io and version is 0.9.16 and i am using it under Node.Js

Shouldn't this code be pushed ? With a condition on the player (webplayer) ?

Edit : I actually tried both method, and despite a working Socket Policy and can't manage to connect to my server using the weplayer.

Edit 2 : It was coming from a redirection on my server. This solution is working. See the next comment.

I just pushed a fix with UnityHTTP:
