Secure WebSocket（wss：//）在Firefox上不起作用

Question

I have a working WebSocket non secure application. But my website uses https and I need a Secure WebSocket connection to avoid Firefox to complain about the fact that the connection is insecure.

I am using php-websocket-server for my WebSocket server with PhP 5.2.9, so when i use WebSocket secure i can't decrypt packets with the openssl_decrypt function.

That's why i used stunnel in order to decrypt packets sent by the client using wss, to do that i binded client WebSocket to 12345 port an server WebSocket to 54321 port, then i added a stunnel in server mode :

[wsServer]
accept  = 12345
connect = 192.168.1.227:54321

With this configuration my application works fine on Chrome through https + wss. But on Firefox there's a problem during the handshake, it seems that Sec-WebSocket-Version and Sec-WebSocket-Key are missing in the header. I don't understand because it works on Firefox through http + ws.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit : i added an exception for the certificate on the port 12345, now the handshake is going well because i think Firefox now have the Sec-WebSocket-Key.

Here the working header request with Firefox (bigger than Chrome request):

GET / HTTP/1.1

If you work in local with auto-signed certificate, you have to approve it on both servers https:// running on port 443 and wss:// running on port 12345 here with Firefox.

I think your browser does not allow the secure websocket connection and that why some headers are missing.
