Discord WebSocket doesn't connect

nhynes

Steps to reproduce:

Go to the Orion Discord
Log in

Hang forever, observe browser console endlessly saying

WebSocket connection to 'wss://gateway.discord.gg/?encoding=json&v=9&compress=zlib-stream' failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. (kNWErrorDomainPOSIX error 57 - Socket is not connected)
0bfa49fd2365391e08a7.js:130:255

However other sites' websockets work, and Discord works in Brave. I tried disabling all content blockers and extensions to no avail.

Expected behavior:
The WebSocket connects and the Orion Discord loads.

Orion and macOS:
Orion: 0.99.108.1-beta
macOS: 12.0.1

nhynes Did you try in Compatibility mode? (disables all extensions)

Can you try in Safari?

Huh, Safari has the same issue. Guess it's some deeper or configuration issue. Please feel free to close this issue! If I can diagnose the issue, I'll post a reply in case anyone else encounters the same thing.

Update: based on this StackOverflow answer, I disabled Develop > Experimental Features > NSURLSession WebSocket and now Discord WS works. Based on this bug report, it seems that the NSURLSession WebSocket feature is enabled by default (by WebKit itself?) on macOS Monterey but is buggy with respect to compression. Neat!
