I'm having incredible difficulty setting up the Twilio Client in Meteor JS, and would really appreciate any help.
I have extracted the relevant code and error logs below. So far as I can tell, it should be simple. The code is just grabbing an authtoken which I have previously generated, and then trying to set up the device using that authtoken. But it's not working.
'click #initializeDevice'(event) {
var thisAuthToken = Session.get('myAuthToken');
console.log(thisAuthToken); // I have confirmed with Twilio support that these authtokens are correctly generated
const Device = require('twilio-client').Device;
Device.setup(thisAuthToken, { debug: true });
var myStatus = Device.status()
console.log(myStatus); //this is logging "offline"
Device.on('ready',function (device) {
log('Twilio.Device Ready!'); //this is not logging anything
});
},
When that code runs, it generates the following logs:

I'm doing this all from a local server, tunneled through NGROK. I've also set up the Twilio back end, linked the app, purchased a number, etc.
So far as I can tell, the issue, from the logs, appears to be something to do with the way that Meteor uses WebSockets.
Could not connect to endpoint: ws does not work in the browser. Browser clients must use the native WebSocket object
This is a not a Meteor related problem rather than browser issue.
Make sure your browser supports WebRTC
BTW, Your browser might be supporting it but you'd need to enable it.

I have been working on this problem for quite some time. I've read the many similar posts and their solutions don't help me (many posts are old and stale). I have a new Xamarin project and a localhost API that I am testing to. Initially I installed our production API locally and it doesn't connect. So I created a smaller test API and have had varying results in connecting. Xamarin Android will not connect with a "Failed to connect to localhost:XXXXX" message. I built a WPF project and get the same results. However I can connect to outside public API's (github) with both. I can connect to my localhost with a Windows forms desktop app and successfully get & post. Postman and httprepl both connect locally and successfully get & post. A couple of the other things the other posts suggested are 1) Client handler to ignore SSL - doesn't work, 2) Use the emulator's browser to connect to localhost - cannot connect. (this might be exposing where the problem really is but not sure).
Also The debugger seems to be behaving oddly. When the debugger gets to the HttpResponseMessageresponse.... line it rarely makes it to the next line so I cannot inspect the statuscode. The block I have below is in a try/catch and rarely makes it to the catch if the connection truly fails. Sometimes it will be caught at the catch and that's how I get the "failed to connect" message. Another developer here has run the project on his computer and gets the same results/errors on his computer.
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.SendAsync(request);
var Statuscode = response.StatusCode;
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var jsonbody = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var ResponseBody = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
}
else
{
string oops = "Nothing";
}
I seem to be running out of options and am looking for any advice.
Thanks in advance.
I can successfully send a web hook from Stripe to my Meteor app in development using ngrok. For example, my test endpoint on the Stripe dashboard would be sent to something like https://f5f62fdf.ngrok.io. It responds with a successful notice. The ngrok inspector shows the stripe test object received. But in Meteor I'm a little unsure how the router should look with ngrok. On the server, my route would be something like:
Router.route( "<unsure what path to put here>", function() {
console.log('hello');
}, { where: "server" });
In my testing environment using ngrok, what would the path be?
Just trying to get the function to console.log() my 'hello' so I know it's working.
OK, I'm an idiot. It console.logs to the terminal, not the browser. Ouch. Given I'm working with Node, it makes sense. Just for posterity, the Stripe endpoint would be something like https://g4r62fdf.ngrok.io/stripe/webhook.
Make sure you're returning a response inside the function so the web hook won't timeout.
this.response.statusCode = 200;
this.response.end('10-4, good buddy');
I am working thru the sample todolist application for the Cordova SDK.
the url is here
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn832630.aspx
I set up a key on the BING Maps website. I can access the location service sending latitude and longitude thru a standard web browser, pasting in the URL with my key.
However the angular call always fails. What is worse is the error is always blank. no status code no error message. Was thinking it must be CORS.
I have run through the sample and downloaded the code sample and both have the same issue.
For anyone going thru the sample. I have realised today that Angular is evil. They say it is nicely testable javascript with dependancy injection, however it doesn't seem to be too interested in telling you what the error is when you have one, it just fails. Great and noble programming ideas, but without an error message it isn't much good.
Anyhow the fix is that Angular is very strict about json code so the line in services.js for the Bings Maps Service method getAddressFromPosition
it used to work with .get() but this was probably an old version of Angular when the demo was written. I tried using 1.2 but the Ripple emulator didn't like references to browser specific code. So I used the latest 1.3.13 I believe.
This is where to access the Bing location service with the Cordova geolocation coordinates returns Json, but Angular wants them wrapped in JSONP. searching the increasing fragmented web it appeared the error might be CORS no, so a many different people had their JSONP calls in controllers, modules, services, some using $http others $resources. Finally using bits and pieces I got JSONP to work with $resources and to plug it into the $promise the call from the controller requires. I used a static Url with Coordinates I knew worked, so you will have to use the :param angular notation to put those back in. Hope it helps someone.
So change to:
getAddressFromPosition: function (position) {
var resource = $resource(url, {}, {
jsonp_query: {
method: 'JSONP'
}
});
return resource.jsonp_query().$promise.then(function (response) {
return response.resourceSets[0].resources[0].address.formattedAddress;
}, function (error) {
return position.coords.latitude + "," + position.coords.longitude
});
edit:
I put the above in and it worked. However the problem was for some reason, perhaps thru debugging, another instance of the app was deployed on another port in ripple. This then change the app to run on this new port. The initial port was 4400. The problem is that and $http or $resource calls in angular have to go thru this emulator, and the emulator was seeing this as cross domain, unless it is configured to the same port the app is running under.
so Url:
http://localhost:4409/index.html?enableripple=cordova-3.0.0-iPhone5
then in the Settings Div dropdown on the right side, the Proxy Port must also be set to 4409 or else the browser will complain that the $http request is cross-domain, before the emulator actually executes it to query Azure mobile service or Bing maps.
So this was very frustrating. However VS Cordova has definately reduced the amount of bits you have to configure to make hybrid mobile apps, there are still little glitches like this which can trip you up. I assumed it was something with angular, because there was no error messages, but in Chrome in the Dev Tools console that was where the error was, and after some googling it was plain that it was the ripple emulator running on a different port than its proxy was not allowing the call to be forwarded on due to Access-Control-Allow not being set.
IS there a way to trick the server so I don't get this error:
Content was blocked because it was not signed by a valid security certificate.
I'm pulling an iframe of an html website into another website but I keep getting the console (chrome) error in the title of this question and in internet explorer it says:
Content was blocked because it was not signed by a valid security certificate.
Your resource probably use a self-signed SSL certificate over HTTPS protocol.
Chromium, so Google Chrome block by default this kind of resource considered unsecure.
You can bypass this this way :
Assuming your frame's URL is https://www.domain.com, open a new tab in chrome and go to https://www.domain.com.
Chrome will ask you to accept the SSL certificate. Accept it.
Then, if you reload your page with your frame, you could see that now it works
The problem as you can guess, is that each visitor of your website has to do this task to access your frame.
You can notice that chrome will block your URL for each navigation session, while chrome can memorise for ever that you trust this domain.
If your frame can be accessed by HTTP rather than HTTPS, I suggest you to use it, so this problem will be solved.
Sometimes Google Chrome throws this error, even if it should not.
I experienced it when Chrome had a new version, and it needed to be restarted.
After restarting the same page worked without any errors.
The error in the console was:
net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE
I still experienced the problem described above on an Asus T100 Windows 10 test device for both (up to date) Edge and Chrome browser.
Solution was in the date/time settings of the device; somehow the date was not set correctly (date in the past). Restoring this by setting the correct date (and restarting the browsers) solved the issue for me. I hope I save someone a headache debugging this problem.
Offering another potential solution to this error.
If you have a frontend application that makes API calls to the backend, make sure you reference the domain name that the certificate has been issued to.
e.g.
https://example.com/api/etc
and not
https://123.4.5.6/api/etc
In my case, I was making API calls to a secure server with a certificate, but using the IP instead of the domain name. This threw a Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE.
open up your console and hit the URL inside. it'll take you to the API page and then in the page accept the SSL certificate, go back to your app page and reload.
remember that SSL certificates should have been issued for your Dev environment before.
If you're developing, and you're developing with a Windows machine, simply add localhost as a Trusted Site.
And yes, per DarrylGriffiths' comment, although it may look like you're adding an Internet Explorer setting...
I believe those are Windows rather than IE settings. Although MS tend to assume that they're only IE (hence the alert next to "Enable Protected Mode" that it requries restarted IE)...
Try this code to watch for, and report, a possible net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE
I was having this issue as well, using a self-signed certificate, which I have chosen not to save into the Chrome Settings. After accessing the https domain and accepting the certificate, the ajax call works fine. But once that acceptance has timed-out or before it has first been accepted, the jQuery.ajax() call fails silently: the timeout parameter does not seem help and the error() function never gets called.
As such, my code never receives a success() or error() call and therefore hangs. I believe this is a bug in jquery's handling of this error. My solution is to force the error() call after a specified timeout.
This code does assume a jquery ajax call of the form jQuery.ajax({url: required, success: optional, error: optional, others_ajax_params: optional}).
Note: You will likely want to change the function within the setTimeout to integrate best with your UI: rather than calling alert().
const MS_FOR_HTTPS_FAILURE = 5000;
$.orig_ajax = $.ajax;
$.ajax = function(params)
{
var complete = false;
var success = params.success;
var error = params.error;
params.success = function() {
if(!complete) {
complete = true;
if(success) success.apply(this,arguments);
}
}
params.error = function() {
if(!complete) {
complete = true;
if(error) error.apply(this,arguments);
}
}
setTimeout(function() {
if(!complete) {
complete = true;
alert("Please ensure your self-signed HTTPS certificate has been accepted. "
+ params.url);
if(params.error)
params.error( {},
"Connection failure",
"Timed out while waiting to connect to remote resource. " +
"Possibly could not authenticate HTTPS certificate." );
}
}, MS_FOR_HTTPS_FAILURE);
$.orig_ajax(params);
}
This problem is because of your https that means SSL certification. Try on Localhost.
I have backend meteor server which serves and shares common collections across multiple apps (just sharing mongo db is not enough, realtime updates are needed).
BACKEND
/ \
APP1 APP2
| |
CLIENT CLIENT
I have server-to-server DDP connections running between backend server and app servers.
Atm i'm just re-publishing the collections in app server after subscribing them from backend server.
It all seems working quite well. The only problem tho is that in app server cant query any collections in server side, all the find() responses are empty, in client side (browser) it all works fine tho.
Is it just a coincidence that it works at all or what do you suggest how i should set it up.
Thanks
I realize that this is a pretty old question, but I thought I would share my solution. I had a similar problem as I have two applications (App1 and App2) that will be sharing data with a third application (App3).
I couldn't figure out why the server-side of my App1 could not see the shared collections in App3...even though the client-side of App1 was seeing them. Then it hit me that the server-side of my App1 was acting like a "client" of App3, so needed to subscribe to the publication, too.
I moved my DDP.connection.subscribe() call outside the client folder of App1, so that it would be shared between the client and server of App1. Then, I used a Meteor.setInterval() call to wait for the subscription to be ready on the server side in order to use it. That seemed to do the trick.
Here's a quick example:
in lib/common.js:
Meteor.myRemoteConnection = DDP.connect(url_to_App3);
SharedWidgets = new Meteor.Collection('widgets', Meteor.myRemoteConnection);
Meteor.sharedWidgetsSubscription = Meteor.myRemoteConnection.subscribe('allWidgets');
in server/fixtures.js:
Meteor.startup(function() {
// check once every second to see if the subscription is ready
var subIsReadyInterval = Meteor.setInterval(function () {
if ( Meteor.sharedWidgetsSubscription.ready() ) {
// SharedWidgets should be available now...
console.log('widget count:' + SharedWidgets.find().count);
// clean up the interval...
Meteor.clearInterval(subIsReadyInterval);
}
}, 1000);
});
If there is a better way to set this up, I'd love to know.
I have done this already,
check my app Tapmate or youtap.meteor.com on android and iphone,
I know it will work till 0.6.4 meteor version,
haven't checked if that works on above version,
You have to manually override the default ddp url while connecting,
i.e. go to live-data package in .meteor/packages/live-data/stream_client_socket.js
overwrite this - Meteor._DdpClientStream = function (url) {
url = "ddp+sockjs://ddp--**-youtap.meteor.com/sockjs";
now you won't see things happening locally but it will point to meteor server
also disable reload js from reloading
Thanks
