Unencrypted connection (ws://) throws 'SSLHandshake failed'

[sjkummer]

Hi there,

While developing & debugging, it is convenient to use the meteor server 'out of the box' without further ssl proxy configuration.

But actually, the SwiftDDP refuses to connect when using the "ws:" scheme and logs SSL errors.

The 'Allow Arbitrary Loads' flag is enabled in the Xcode project settings.

Meteor.connect("ws://10.0.0.10:3000/websocket")

Well, as a workarround, make sure to never set Meteor.client.allowSelfSignedSSL = true while using the "ws:" scheme
