Is this a single thread?

[Kyle Tse]

I have read the source code, it seems it is a single thread, without creating a new thread to manage new connection. How about if many web users are browsing my site, can this proxy handle it all?

[x25]

The proxy uses an event-driven networking framework. Yes, the proxy can handle multiple clients in parallel.

I have tried this proxy, but it seems I cannot connect to my proxy via websocket. any ideas?
which one I should use? ws:// or wss://? Any difference?

[x25]

Use ws:// and please share the code you use.

Mixed Content: The page at 'xxxxxxxxxxx' was loaded over HTTPS, but attempted to connect to the insecure WebSocket endpoint 'ws://poolhost:8892/proxy'. This request has been blocked; this endpoint must be available over WSS.

You are trying to connect to an insecure WebSocket endpoint from https page.
There is two solutions:

1. Implement TLS: secure WebSocket support in proxy
   https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python/tree/master/examples/twisted/websocket/echo_tls
2. Use your http server to forward https/secure websocket requests to the local proxy port

I am done now. It's working now. But there is no hashrate from the pool. But I can see the proxy is working.
