Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh

Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE) is an award granted to individuals that the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland's national academy of science and letters, judges to be "eminently distinguished in their subject". This society had received a royal charter in 1783, allowing for its expansion.[1]

gollark: As I said, if this is somehow a webserver issue, I'm hoping caddy 2 will fix it, so I'm reading the docs to prepare for an upgrade to that.
gollark: Its internal HTTP logs, which I figured out how to get it to dump, do appear to show it doing *something*, but I don't understand them enough to say what.
gollark: The really weird thing is that Firefox didn't actually seem to be *sending* any request or whatever for the websockets. Nothing appears in devtools, wireshark didn't show anything websocket-looking (although I am not very good at using it, I think it was working because it showed the regular HTTP requests), mitmproxy didn't say anything either, and the webserver logs don't show it.
gollark: I've decided to just update caddy and see if that helps, since I am a bit overdue for switching to v2.
gollark: I have some applications sending data over websocket to the browser - mostly JSON. They work in Chrome and Firefox on Android, but not on Firefox on my Linux systems - it just says "failed to establish connection". Specifically, they work if I run them directly on my local machine but not behind my server's reverse proxy.
