Unable to Connect to Secure WebSockets

[michaelahlers]

I've got a trivial example:

val location = new URI("wss://echo.websocket.org:443")

val socket = new DefaultHookupClient(HookupClientConfig(uri = location)) {
  override def receive: Receive = {
    case message =>
      println(s"Received message: $message.")
  }

  connect() onSuccess {
    case _ =>
      println(s"Connected to $location.")

      context.system.scheduler.schedule(0 seconds, 1 second) {
        socket.send("Echo message.")
      }
  }
}

However, the only output I get is:

Connected to wss://echo.websocket.org:443.
Received message: Reconnecting.
Received message: Disconnected(None).

This occurs even if I provide a list of protocols to connect, and with every secure WebSocket I've tried. However, everything works correctly (and I get my echo replies) when connecting to ws://echo.websocket.org:80 and other insecure servers.

Does the client support SSL? Am I misusing it? Is it an environmental problem? (For reference, I'm using 0.3.0 for Scala 2.11.)

Well, I just noticed PR #11. Is there any possibility support could be added in the near future?

Did you find a way to fix this? Did you migrate to another library?
I've the same problem now, and I didn't receive any answer from backchat about this issue.
How did you solve it?
