Q:

jWebScokets explorer support

I'm using jWebSockets to run a small internet app. Even though the website says there is explorer support using a flash bridge and this should be transparent, I can't seem to have my app running on explorer.
Is there something that needs to be done to have support for explorer that I'm missing?

A:

For a Flash WebSocket implementation like this to work, you need to run a Flash Policy File server on port 843 serving a policy file which instructs Flash player to allow outbound socket connections. Obviously, you also need to include the relevant Flash files in your client HTML page. Just follow the instructions in the reference. This specific bridge works with IE8/9 and also other WebSocket lacking browsers with Flash support like the native Android browser (pre Chrome Mobile).
