RocketChat
can't connect to domain who contains dash
- Your Rocket.Chat app version: 3.5.0
- Your Rocket.Chat server version: 1.3.2
- Device (or Simulator) you're running with: iPhone X
Hello everyone,
I noticed a problem connecting to my rocketchat server from the app. The url of my server is rocketchat.my-domain.com but it generates me a message indicating that the url is invalid. By removing the dash, the error message is different. Can you change the url check to allow the " - " character?
Thank you
Same problem here. iOS Client unable to connect. Domain: rocketchat.my-domain.de
I'm not so sure anymore the connection problem is caused by a dash in the domain name. I restored a backup and used a domain name without a dash and experiencing the same difficulties. Maybe my problem comes from server version 2.0.0-rc2? All connections are doing fine but connecting an iOS client for the first time gives the common "oops can't connect to server" error.
@himpierre in 2.0.0, there has been an API change for the info request from api/v1/info to api/info
This has been fixed and merged into develop - https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.iOS/pull/2753
But not yet in master.
@rudrankriyam Thanks for the heads-up. I wonder if a nginx redirect will be sufficiant for the time being.
@rudrankriyam Just checked. It seems with 2.0.0-rc2 both endpoints are still available.
Apparently they reverted the removal? I don't get it. :-) https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/15332
up
Note this
Ok, my problem is gone with 2.0.0-rc3.
You probably need to upgrade your server to 2.x +
My server is up to date. This is not a problem with the server but with the client application that refuses any domain that contains a dash without checking if there is a server behind.
Please note that this is unlikely to get fixed in native iOS (Swift)
All the mobile apps are moving to React Native.

@lmopi I have the latest version of rocket Chat installed (both server and iOS app) and I do also use a domain with a dash within (chat.my-domain.de). Everything works as expected. Maybe your issue has a different origin?
When I want to connect to my server I do "Connect to a server" then what format to use ?
- chat.my-domain.com -> Invalid url
- www.chat.my-domain.com -> No server found
- https://www.chat.my-domain.com -> No server found
- https://chat.my-domain.com -> Invalid url
Not yet, where can I find the documentation ?

For info : i use a popup authentication with oauth
Not going to get fixed here - see my earlier link.

Had the same issue and noticed, that my HTTPS routing configuration was wrong. Again, I'm using a domain with a dash, too and it works perfectly well. Maybe you should have a look at your HTTPS side? Do you force Rocket.Chat to use HTTPS? Do you have a redirect to HTTPS?
Works on rocket chat reactnative, don't understand why not on rocket chat IOS
