Hey,
I've experimented with WebSockets on Tools some months ago, it was
highly implementation specific if WebSocket servers worked. As far as I
remember the situation was as following:
socket.io 0.9 with python/gevent backend: total failure (regarding
WebSockets)
socket.io 1.0 with nodejs: WebSocket connection is established, client
receives everything, messages from client to server get lost somewhere
inbetween
native WebSocket library 'ws' on nodejs: same as above
sockjs with nodejs or python backend (tornado): works flawlessly
Best wishes

Hi all,
Max Klein and I have been working on a service that listens to the
recent changes stream <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCStream> and
looks at the edits to the pages and extracts information about what was
edited and re-publishes that on another websocket. We've modified Ed
Summers' wikistream <https://github.com/edsu/wikistream> to display the
changes by making it listen on a websocket for changes instead of an IRC
connection as the original did. Now we're trying to get it all deployed
and running and some questions have come up around how the tools-labs
resources work in exposing things to the outside network.
We first tried setting up our server using webservice start as
described here <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Tool_Labs/Web>
under "other web servers", but while the changes stream was being
published from the server app and webapp got served properly into the
browser we couldn't see our websocket from the outside network to
receive the changes stream. We then moved on to trying to deploy to own
subdomain as is done in the original but had similar problems (though by
that point we were more disorganized after the accumulated changes we
made to the original in our first attempt).
That being the case I'd like to ask in general about how proxing works
in the labs environments for the different deployment options and
specifically what would be the best strategy for deploying this service
in a way that it can expose a websocket to the outside network.
Thanks for the help
Anthony
