Question

Does anyone happen to know of any live WebSocket servers which are accessible over the internet and listen on the standard ports (i.e. 80, and 443). Anything will do – an echo server, for instance.

Thanks

Update: Kaazing/Tenefit appears to no longer be hosting the WebSocket echo server at websocket.org. An alternative echo server is available at ws.ifelse.io instead (running https://github.com/jmalloc/echo-server and hosted by Mark Thomas)

Your best bet is going to be Kaazing’s websockets echo server: http://websockets.org/echo.html. It’s easy to remember, they keep it up to date and running.

• ws://echo.websocket.org (port 80)
• wss://echo.websocket.org (port 443)

EDIT:
If you want to use wss:// (443) visit the site with https:// or else use http:// for ws:// (80).

EDIT: WebSocket.org is dead.
