QWebSocket: unable to connect to HTTPS server

[Adso4]

Hi,

I've the need to connect to a web-server using QWebSocket for a chat application. Following the tutorials (Tutorials), I have created a class who opens the connection to that server, but when listening to errors, I always get QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError. Finally, QWebSocket::disconnected is called. Connected event is never called:

The source code is:
-> MY_SOCKET.H

#pragma once
#include "QtWebSockets/qwebsocket.h"

class MySocket : public  QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MySocket(QObject *parent = nullptr);

private Q_SLOTS:
    void onConnected();
    void onDisconnected();

private:

    QWebSocket m_webSocket;
};

-> MY_SOCKET.CPP

#include "my_socket.h"
#include <qDebug>

MySocket::MySocket(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent), m_webSocket("eff")
{
    QObject::connect(&m_webSocket, &QWebSocket::connected, this, &MySocket::onConnected);
    QObject::connect(&m_webSocket, &QWebSocket::disconnected, this, &MySocket::onDisconnected);
    QObject::connect(&m_webSocket, QOverload<QAbstractSocket::SocketError>::of(&QWebSocket::error),
        [=](QAbstractSocket::SocketError error) {
        qDebug() << "[SocketClient] Error: " << error;
    }
    );

    QUrl server("wss://myServer/");

    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] Do connection to: " << server;
    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] Scheme: " << server.scheme();
    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] Host " << server.host();
    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] Port " << server.port();
    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] Is valid " << server.isValid();

    
    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] state:" << m_webSocket.state();
    m_webSocket.open(server);
    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] state:" << m_webSocket.state();
}

void MySocket::onConnected()
{
    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] WebSocket connected";
}

void MySocket::onDisconnected()
{
    qDebug() << "[SocketClient] WebSocket disconnected";
}

This is what I get when running it:

[SocketClient] Do connection to:  QUrl("wss://myServer/")
[SocketClient] Scheme:  "wss"
[SocketClient] Host  "myServer"
[SocketClient] Port  -1
[SocketClient] Is valid  true
[SocketClient] state: QAbstractSocket::UnconnectedState
[SocketClient] state: QAbstractSocket::ConnectingState
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError
...
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::RemoteHostClosedError
[SocketClient] Error:  QAbstractSocket::RemoteHostClosedError
[SocketClient] WebSocket disconnected

What I'm doing wrong? Any help will be appreciated.

For https, what have you done about installing SSL libraries? You need them.
