    Hello,

    Can I connect Unity App with Node.js server by heroku.com and openshift.com?

    I try to use Unity Socket.IO Asset: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/21721

    When I install this asset I can to use "Socket IO Component (Script)"

    I see this field on "Socket IO Component (Script)"

    Url: ws://127.0.0.1:3000/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket

    I deployed my 'server' on heroku.com I have this address: https://unitychat.herokuapp.com/

    I converted this address to IP here: http://www.hcidata.info/host2ip.cgi

    I replaced the Url field in ""Socket IO Component (Script)"" to:

    ws://176.34.115.171:3000/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket

    But I cannot connect with heroku. Why?

    Yes, but only for WebGL. I used only JS version of socke.io (not Unity Socket.io) and I called JS functions by ExternalCall from C# scripts. It is the same: http://socket.io/get-started/chat/

    Yes, I do. But I cannot connect two apps. Maybe do you know a tutorial about how to connect Unity Socket.io with heroku or openshift?

    I think that SignalR is better for WebGL and WCF is better than Node.js for desktop because you can study only C#. But I don't know could I use WCF in Unity? UNet is better for coop games, but not for massive games.

    Hey ! I found the way!!.

    if you run server in the localhost. the url should have " : port"
    example (port = 47960)

    ws://127.0.0.1:47960/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket

    **but if you have deployed to heroku
    the url must delete " : port"

    ws://your-project-name.herokuapp.com/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket

    it's work!

    Please, describe me a problem with details. Heroku is your server, because the client is placed on the Heroku server. You can get file from your server (where you client placed) without problems. The CORS problem can be on the client side only, only if you want to get a file, for example, an image from an alias server. I can describe a situation when this problem can occur. Sometimes I keep images on Dropbox. Dropbox allow to get direct links but with some little manipulations. It this case I can use images, audio files, 3D models on Sandboxes.

    I upload files on Dropbox. I can share files and get links like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xyzabt54s8lpixh/199.jpg?dl=0

    I edit links like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xyzabt54s8lpixh/199.jpg

    Now it is a direct link. I want to get this image on another web client, for example, on my web client on another server. In this case I can write:

    Code (JavaScript):
    1. image.crossOrigin = "";
    Sandbox


    
<!DOCTYPE html>
    
<html>
    

    
<head>
    
    <title>CrossOrigin</title>
    
</head>
    

    
<body>
    
    <script>
    
        var image = new Image();
    
        image.onload = function()
    
        {
    
            document.body.appendChild(image);
    
        }
    
        image.crossOrigin = "";
    
        image.src = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xyzabt54s8lpixh/199.jpg";
    
    </script>
    
</body>
