Hey folks,

This server is up and running, supporting perspective app sessions. I am off-site attempting to connect via VPN, and IT has set-up the connection path using what they called “Big IP,” which I am not familiar with. The long and the short of it is I connect to `http://UserFriendlyURL:80` which routes traffic to `http://IgnitionServerURL:8088`.

When connecting through this path via the Perspective app, I am prompted to sign in, it attempts to connect, and kicks me back to the sign in prompt.

Meanwhile, this warn logs in the gateway:

 ![WebSocketServerFactory](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/1/17de66797b1f03f2b37e466111115cd892683dac.png)

I suspect that something in the routing is causing the error (being on-site I can connect fine using `http://IgnitionServerURL:8088`). Anyone help me decipher what this warning indicates and give me something to take back to IT to resolve this?

Cheers.

Bump - is it as simple as the client request coming in in the wrong http format / protocol?

I believe so. I doubt the Perspective app or browser you’re using is sending HTTP/1.0 request, it’s probably whatever forwarding mechanism or proxy IT has set up.

Perspective relies on WebSockets and you can’t use WebSockets with HTTP/1.0.

Roger that - thank you, Kevin.
