Can't connect to websocket

I'm new to Blockchain and I want to understand how to use JS to open a Websocket, the code is from Blockcypher.com docs https://www.blockcypher.com/dev/dash/?javascript#using-websockets
// Get latest unconfirmed transactions live
var ws = new WebSocket("wss://socket.blockcypher.com/v1/dash/main");
var count = 0;
ws.onmessage = function (event) {
var tx = JSON.parse(event.data);
var shortHash = tx.hash.substring(0, 6) + "...";
var total = tx.total / 100000000;
var addrs = tx.addresses.join(", ");
$('#browser-websocket').before("<div>Unconfirmed transaction " + shortHash + " totalling " + total + "DASH involving addresses " + addrs + "</div>");
count++;
if (count > 10) ws.close();
}
ws.onopen = function(event) {
ws.send(JSON.stringify({event: "unconfirmed-tx"}));
}
The browser console displays this error: Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://socket.blockcypher.com/v1/dash/main.
Note: I have a token provided by Blockcypher but the code example they provide doesn't ask for any token. Is the code bad? is it missing something?

The problem is not in your code but with the server not responding as expected.
It could be a server issue or you may need to be pre approved to access the resource (assuming they are whitelisting IP addresses which I doubt).
Also, check out the rest of the code, it has a placeholder for a token that you may need to connect (the error you see now is way before the token is requested).
You can always change the server name to one of many test servers out there like wss://echo.websocket.org and see the error changing from "Can't establish connection" to something related to the rest of the code.

use webrtc get client IP report:ICE failed, add a STUN server and see about:webrtc for more details

I used the following code snippet to get results on both the web side and the sandbox side.However, in my React code debugging, I always failed...

Get the client IP address with Javascript on Safari

since Safari updated to version 11 we can use WebRTC API. However, I'm trying to get the client IP address (local IP, i.e. 192.168.1.10) but there is no result.
The code I'm using is the one you can find in several guides. The same code works on Chrome and Firefox, which are compatibles with this API before than Safari. It's something like this:
/**
* Get the user IP throught the webkitRTCPeerConnection
* #param onNewIP {Function} listener function to expose the IP locally
* #return undefined
*/
function getUserIP(onNewIP) { // onNewIp - your listener function for new IPs
//compatibility for firefox and chrome
var myPeerConnection = window.RTCPeerConnection || window.mozRTCPeerConnection || window.webkitRTCPeerConnection;
var pc = new myPeerConnection({
iceServers: []
}),
noop = function() {},
localIPs = {},
ipRegex = /([0-9]{1,3}(\.[0-9]{1,3}){3}|[a-f0-9]{1,4}(:[a-f0-9]{1,4}){7})/g,
key;
function iterateIP(ip) {
if (!localIPs[ip]) onNewIP(ip);
localIPs[ip] = true;
}
//create a bogus data channel
pc.createDataChannel("");
// create offer and set local description
pc.createOffer().then(function(sdp) {
sdp.sdp.split('\n').forEach(function(line) {
if (line.indexOf('candidate') < 0) return;
line.match(ipRegex).forEach(iterateIP);
});
pc.setLocalDescription(sdp, noop, noop);
}).catch(function(reason) {
// An error occurred, so handle the failure to connect
});
//listen for candidate events
pc.onicecandidate = function(ice) {
if (!ice || !ice.candidate || !ice.candidate.candidate || !ice.candidate.candidate.match(ipRegex)) return;
ice.candidate.candidate.match(ipRegex).forEach(iterateIP);
};
}
// Usage
getUserIP(function(ip){
alert("Got IP! :" + ip);
});
I've been debugging and I figured out that ice.candidate is not defined, so there isn't any IP to iterate in code.
Any idea or alternative?
Thank you.

Safari is implementing the latest version of the spec which, for security reasons, prevent local candidates for being generated. You have an option in the browser that allow you to give safari the permission to do it, but it needs to be done manually. Other browsers are not fully compliant yet and still allow local candidates to be generated.
In the developper menu you can chose to stop filtering the candidates.

Failed to set local answer sdp: Called in wrong state: STATE_INPROGRESS

I have two clients :
1) Chrome (version 50.0.2661.102 m) on Windows 7 PC
2) Chrome (version 50.0.2661.89) on Android tablet
Both are in the same network (so no need for STUN/TURN server).
I use my own signal server built with node.js (webSocket) on a VirtualBox VM with Centos 6.
The communication with video/sound between the clients works fine. Now I want to transfer a file from one client to another. As base of my code i use the code of this example
here
As this code suggess, I create the dataChannnel exactly after the creation of PeerConnection.
function createPeerConnection() {
....
myPeerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection(iceServers, optional);
myDataChannel = myPeerConnection.createDataChannel('myDataChannel');
// Set up event handlers for the ICE negotiation process.
myPeerConnection.onicecandidate = handleICECandidateEvent;
myPeerConnection.onaddstream = handleAddStreamEvent;
myPeerConnection.onnremovestream = handleRemoveStreamEvent;
myPeerConnection.oniceconnectionstatechange = handleICEConnectionStateChangeEvent;
myPeerConnection.onicegatheringstatechange = handleICEGatheringStateChangeEvent;
myPeerConnection.onsignalingstatechange = handleSignalingStateChangeEvent;
myPeerConnection.onnegotiationneeded = handleNegotiationNeededEvent;
myPeerConnection.ondatachannel = handleDataChannel;
myDataChannel.onmessage = handleDataChannelMessage;
myDataChannel.onopen = handleDataChannelOpen;
}
...
...
function invite(peerId) {
...
createPeerConnection();
...
}
...
...
function handleVideoOfferMsg(msg) {
thereIsNegotiation = true;
targetUsername = msg.name;
// Call createPeerConnection() to create the RTCPeerConnection.
log("Starting to accept invitation from " + targetUsername);
createPeerConnection();
// We need to set the remote description to the received SDP offer
// so that our local WebRTC layer knows how to talk to the caller.
var desc = new RTCSessionDescription(msg.sdp);
myPeerConnection.setRemoteDescription(desc)
.then(function(stream) {
log("-- Calling myPeerConnection.addStream()");
return myPeerConnection.addStream(localStream);
})
.then(function() {
log("------> Creating answer");
// Now that we've successfully set the remote description, we need to
// start our stream up locally then create an SDP answer. This SDP
// data describes the local end of our call, including the codec
// information, options agreed upon, and so forth.
return myPeerConnection.createAnswer();
})
.then(function(answer) {
log("------> Setting local description after creating answer");
// We now have our answer, so establish that as the local description.
// This actually configures our end of the call to match the settings
// specified in the SDP.
return myPeerConnection.setLocalDescription(answer);
})
.then(function() {
var msg = {
name: clientId,
room: roomId,
target: targetUsername,
type: "video-answer",
sdp: myPeerConnection.localDescription
};
// We've configured our end of the call now. Time to send our
// answer back to the caller so they know that we want to talk
// and how to talk to us.
log("Sending answer packet back to other peer");
sendToServer(msg);
})
.catch(handleGetUserMediaError);
}
When the second client makes the offer, the first client when tries to make the answer, I get the error
Error opening your camera and / or microphone : failed to set local answer
spd: Failed to push down transport description: Local fingerprint provided
but no identity available.
or
Error opening your camera and / or microphone : failed to set local answer
spd: Called in wrong state : STATE_INPROGRESS
Only one time the creation was successful.
Do I have to create DataChannel in other place? Like here :
function handleICEConnectionStateChangeEvent {
switch(myPeerConnection.iceConnectionState) {
...
case "connected":
createDataChannel();
break;
}
}
function createDataChannel(){
myDataChannel = myPeerConnection.createDataChannel('myDataChannel');
myPeerConnection.ondatachannel = handleDataChannel;
myDataChannel.onmessage = handleDataChannelMessage;
myDataChannel.onopen = handleDataChannelOpen;
}
Any suggestions?

The error in this code is that both sender and receiver create new datachannel. The right thing is, one to create the datachannel
myDataChannel = myPeerConnection.createDataChannel('myDataChannel')
and the other to wait for the creation of dataChannel:
myPeerConnection.ondatachannel = handleDataChannel;
