That might be the case actually, so since 80 and 443 bark at me for trying to use regular old TCP sockets I’m now trying to use web sockets. Although they are mysteriously failing to connect… no helpful error messages or reason codes, just “failed to connect”. Which might be the fault of the library I’m using.
Is it valid to try and connect to ws://irc.twitch.tv:80 with a websocket?
EDIT: So far as I can tell Chatty just connects with regular sockets… and also my custom chat client started suddenly working again on port 80. Gah!
