How to use HTTP server and WebSocket server on the same port ?

[thedub2001]

Hello!
I would like to use the same port for WebSocket server and HTTP server to avoid opening a port on my router.
In the example sketch : WebSocketServer_LEDcontrol.ino, is there a way to do something like this ?

26   ESP8266WebServer server(80); 
27   WebSocketsServer wsServer = WebSocketsServer(80); 

When I do that my web browser prints the following error message

Impossible to establish a connection with the (WebSocket) server

I tried to follow the #10 issue but it's not compiling for the ESP8266

I don't think this is possible in your context. The only way it could work is if you run a proxy in front of your application that re-routes to different ports internally.

A quick google search yielded these results. Hopefully this answers your question:

the current implementation does not support it direct,
there is a hook when a http connection comes in.
https://github.com/Links2004/arduinoWebSockets/blob/master/src/WebSocketsServer.h#L134

but currently it not be hooked to the ESP8266WebServer.
if you only need to deliver some simple files, overriding the handleNonWebsocketConnection will do the jop fin.

I'd love to see any examples showing how to use the web server and the websockets running in the same port
