RabbitMQ websocket URL wrong in documentation

Just sticking this here in the hopes that it will get listed in google and maybe save some folks a little time.

If you are trying to use rabbitMQ’s websocket STOMP connector, as discussed on https://www.rabbitmq.com/stomp.html, be aware that the URL given in the documentation on this page is wrong (or perhaps only applies to newer versions of rabbitmq).

The correct way to successfully create a websocket to RabbitMQ 3.5.7 (which ships with Ubuntu 16.04) is as follows:


var ws = new WebSocket(‘ws://yourhostname:15674/stomp/websocket’);
var client = Stomp.over(ws);

Later note: The documentation is correct for newer versions of RabbitMQ.
