Hi,
Looked through SynBidirSock and couldn't find any option to use SSL for secured WEBSocket conenctions. Am I missing something? is it on the development roadmap?
Kind regards,
Avi S
Edit: Goal is to implement Secure WEBsocket (chat) server, should work with signed certificates and self-signed sertificates (for testing purpose)

There is no SSL support yet.
We rather encrypt the WebSocket binary frames directly with AES-256 (after compression), and private shared keys.
So we do not need to propagate certificates.
But it works only between Delphi/FPC mORMot executables.
Since it works very well on production for us, there is no SSL support on the roadmap yet.
But it may be implemented for any SynCrtSock socket, I guess.
Any input is welcome.

Hi,
This is actually needed for interfacing with another WEBsocket implementation therefore a standard solution is needed.
I haven't tested the proprietary solution but I suspect that a standard establishment of WEBSocket connections with SSL have a better chance of passing through firewalls which perfrom strict stateful inspection, so that's another consideration
Thanks,
