Hey guys, I 'm using https://github.com/andrewgodwin/channels.

Custom manage.py command seems to have been integrated ok, as my error log contains the same output I get on localhost...

2016-02-23 20:40:36,646 :Starting new HTTPS connection (1): api.reddit.com
2016-02-23 20:45:49,341 :Resetting dropped connection: api.reddit.com
2016-02-23 20:45:49,343 :Starting new HTTPS connection (2): api.reddit.com

Alas, I get the following error when I load the page Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at wss://mitsest.pythonanywhere.com/.

socket = new WebSocket("wss://mitsest.pythonanywhere.com/"),

I tried both wss and ws. More specifically

http, ws -> same error

http, wss -> same error

https, wss -> same error

https, ws -> error changes (SecurityError: The operation is insecure.)

You can check it out yourselves at : https://mitsest.pythonanywhere.com/

Am I missing anything? Cheers!

Hi mitsest,

Unfortunately we don't support web sockets at the moment.

Conrad

Ah, I see. Any plans for websocket support then? :)

Thanks for the fast reply

We do want to support it, but no concrete plans as of yet :(

do you know of any other hosting services that would support it thanks

You should probably do your own research for that.

@pycharm

Heh it's like asking a mcdonalds employee where to buy a whopper ;)

i hate websocket

Just spotted this topic, still no concrete plans for django-channels support? Also, I wonder how far can I go (as a user) in my virtual environment: can I try to install asgi/redis/daphne in my shell and try to make my own custom support for a little websocket-based app? Just trying my best to stay on pythonanywhere :-)

no concrete plans for web socket support yet. you can however try to use some third party services like pusher, pubnub etc with pythonanywhere to get a sockets solution working.

you can install redis-lite but not actual redis. not sure about the other ones.

Tell me, are you already supporting webconets?

I have a chatbot project written on a python in django, I'm trying to deploy it on your server, but I'm getting : WebSocket connection to 'ws: //mbeliakouski.pythonanywhere.com/chat/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 404

Nope- again, no plans for web sockets yet, but using third party services like pusher/pubnub together with PythonAnywhere will give you a websocket solution that should work.

do you support django-channels now?

No, not yet.

And do you support them now?

No, not yet.

Do you support it now?

Don´t stay behind guys. Come on!

We're working towards it, but it is a very large change so it's not something we can do quickly.

still not supporting?

It's still on the list. We'll add something here when it is supported.

sorry i need channels

Do you support it now?

No, not yet.

How about now?

No

You have been working on it for 4 years, can you give a date?

No, we can not give a date.

What is the date please? thank you.

We are working on it right now, but we don't have a specific date for release.

Just wanted to add my voice to this thread. I would also like to use channels

Noted!

+1... would love Django-Channels support on PythonAnywhere!!

Not yet but on the way.

How about now? Do y'all support WebSockets now?

Not yet but on the way.

I know ETA doesn't exist, but I wonder websocket will be available around March next year?

We can't say for sure.
