[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ's WebSocket broken

Fri Oct 11 07:58:11 BST 2013

Hello,

We're using RabbitMQ in our messaging with several AMQP and STOMP over 
WebSocket clients. STOMP clients are using JavaScript and stomp.js 
(http://jmesnil.net/stomp-websocket/doc/) in browsers. However, recent 
stable release for Chrome fixed the following issue: 
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=259666. This in turn 
broke all Chromium-based clients, and since the WebSocket specification 
(http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/) reports "The connection will only be 
established if the server reports that it has selected one of these 
subprotocols." it is expected that this fix will be pushed to other 
browsers too.

Following messages are changed between client and RabbitMQ, after which 
Chrome reports "Error during WebSocket handshake: Sec-WebSocket-Protocol 
mismatch". As can be seen from the response, RabbitMQ does not confirm the 
selected protocol.
