Fail to establish websocket connection in Chrome

[guoliu]

• Version: 0.29.2
• Platform: macOS 10.12.6, Chrome 66.0

Type: Bug

Severity:

Critical

Description:

On creating a new instance in Chrome, IPFS errors with:

WebSocket connection to 'wss://ws-star.discovery.libp2p.io/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

However, it works fine with firefox. Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

Steps to reproduce the error:

Simply do const ipfs = new IPFS() and load the page in Chrome.

Hi @guoliu 👋

I can't seem to be able to reproduce the error. It's working fine on Chrome here.

What version of js-ipfs are you using?

@guoliu there was an issue with that rendezvous server around the time you posted this issue. It's been resolved now so I'm going to close this. Shout if it's still not working for you.

Hi @fsdiogo and @alanshaw , thank you for your reply. Yes it was due to the issue with rendezvous server. It's working now.

Thanks again for your swift responses 😝
