How to enable WebSockets

Overview

WebSockets enable real-time, bidirectional communication between your application and clients. Everleap supports WebSockets on IIS. You can enable them from the General tab of Site Settings.

Steps

1. Log in to the Everleap Control Panel at cp.everleap.com.
2. On the Services Overview page, locate the Shared Cloud Hosting Account section and click Manage.
3. On the Shared Cloud Sites Overview page, click Manage next to your site.
4. On the Site Overview page, click the Settings tab.
5. Click the General tab within Site Settings.

6. Locate the WebSockets toggle and set it to Enabled.
7. Click Update General Settings to save.

Verify It Worked

Test your WebSocket connections using browser developer tools or a WebSocket testing utility to confirm the upgrade handshake succeeds.

Notes

• ASP.NET SignalR and ASP.NET Core SignalR both work with WebSockets on Everleap.
• If WebSockets are unavailable, SignalR will automatically fall back to long-polling.
