Echo with NodeJS HTTPS doesn't work

[ghost]

Hi there, I've been developing this NodeJS application that takes advantage of Laravel Echo's functionalities to receive information from a server through socket connection.

Server-side

• Laravel Echo Server with Laravel 5.7.19

Client-side
"laravel-echo": "^1.5.2"
"socket.io": "^2.2.0"

import Echo from '../../node_modules/laravel-echo/dist/echo.common.js'
import Socketio from 'socket.io-client';

let echo = new Echo({ 

      broadcaster: 'socket.io',
      host: 'https://smartfish.danymota.com:8080/',
      encrypted: true,
      secure: true,
      client: Socketio,
      auth: {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + this.token.bearerToken,
        },
      },
    });
    echo.private('central.' + macAddress)
      .listen('RulesUpdated', (response) => {
        handleRules(JSON.parse(response.aquarios))
        console.log(new Date().toLocaleString() + " - Rules updated")
      })

Problem
Everything works fine in Http, when I switch to HTTPS it just stops working.
Also, if I run the application in a browser, everything works fine. Thats why I tried to play around with a bunch of factors such as the URL (/socket.io, wss, etc), the options passed on initialization, etc. All in vain.

Socket.io debug
socket.io-client:url parse https://smartfish.danymota.com:8080/socket.io +0ms
socket.io-client new io instance for https://smartfish.danymota.com:8080/socket.io +0ms
socket.io-client:manager readyState closed +0ms
socket.io-client:manager opening https://smartfish.danymota.com:8080/socket.io +0ms
socket.io-client:manager connect attempt will timeout after 20000 +4ms
socket.io-client:manager readyState opening +1ms
socket.io-client:manager connect_error +60ms
socket.io-client:manager cleanup +0ms

Thank you all in advance.

I've solved the problem by adding rejectUnauthorized: false to echo

this.echo = new Echo({ broadcaster: 'socket.io', host: config.ECHO_SERVER, client: Socketio, rejectUnauthorized: false, auth: { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + this.token.bearerToken, }, }, })
