Hello,

I am unable to connect to my local Mosquitto 1.4.10 broker from a JavaScript client over a websocket.

The same JavaScript client is successfully connecting to the public broker at test.mosquitto.org on port 8080 over a websocket.

The MQTT protocol connection on port 1883 is working fine, which I tested using mosquitto_pub and mosquitto_sub.

My broker is set up within a VirtualBox running Ubuntu 14.04.

I have libwebsockets installed on the same virtual machine.

My local broker was compiled with WITH_WEBSOCKETS:=yes in the config.mk file

I am loading the JavaScript client web page from the same virtual machine from a Firefox browser and seeing the following error message in the browser console:

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost:8080/mqtt

Your suggestions on fixing this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Here is my Mosquitto .conf file:

port 1883

listener 8080
protocol websockets

log_type all
websockets_log_level 1023
connection_messages true

Here is the Mosquitto server's log (with websockets logging level set to 1023, and verbose logging turned on - no messages appear when I load the JavaScript web page):
