```auto
var socket = io.connect('https://electronserver.com:3443', {
    query: {
      "name": "plugin-helloworld"
    }
  });

You might need to add network permissions to the manifest file.

Something like this?

```auto
"requiredPermissions": {
    "network": {
      "domains": [
        "https://electronserver.com:3443"
      ]
    }
  },

```

OK so seem like i cannot specify the domain to my electron server, but if i set it to “all” then it work fine

```auto
"requiredPermissions": {
    "localFileSystem": "fullAccess",
    "network": {
      "domains": "all"
    }
  }

```

@BillCipher Which PS version and OS are you running the plugin on? The https domain should have worked.

“domains”: [  
“[https://electronserver.com:3443](https://electronserver.com:3443)”  
]

Doesn’t this solve the problem?

No, this does’t work for me when i use it. Maybe the [socket.io](http://socket.io) need more than just the server domain, just an assumption.
