Remote access issue to new Web Server on 2022.2

[matt (support)]

This issue is because Indigo's Web server now uses session (cookie) information for authentication after you first enter your credentials (via HTTP Digest authentication). It isn't safe to authenticate with sessions over HTTP since the session information isn't encrypted, so Indigo's web server doesn't allow it. Unfortunately, it doesn't give a good error as to why it is failing.

If you were to access it via HTTPS then it would work, but Indigo's web server doesn't currently support HTTPS. Reflectors are always encrypted, so they always work.

We have on our feature request list to work on improving all of this and it is pretty high priority.

Hey Matt

Thanks for the info. As I said, there is an easy work around for me so not a big deal... I was mostly curious as to why it stopped working and appreciate your reply.

We believe we have fixed this problem in Indigo 2024.1.0 . Note you'll need to enable the HTTPS support in Indigo's Start Local Server dialog (Indigo->Start Local Server... menu item). The problem is caused by browser enforce security constraints of using WebSockets over unencrypted connections. Enabling and using HTTPS should avoid the issue.
