discord: Could not open socket to "gateway.discord.gg:443"

I tried running php artisan discord:setup and got this output:


 Is the bot already added to your server? (yes/no) [no]:

Add the bot to your server by visiting this link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=<client_id>&scope=bot&permissions=0

  Please use the argument -v to see more details.

Could this happen because the gateway version is too old? I had a quick look at the discord dev portal and saw the latest version is 6, not 3 as used in the request.

This actually seems to be an issue not specific to textalk/websocket, but has been discussed in Textalk/websocket-php#50, and seems a solution would be to disable verify_peer and verify_peer_name on the context. Possible solution:

// SetupCommand.php

public function getSocket($gateway)
{
    $context = stream_context_create();

    stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_peer', false);
    stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_peer_name', false);

    return new Client($gateway, ['context' => $context]);
}

Okay, so that’s why it’s returning a 400. You can get your Discord user ID by turning on developer mode in the Advanced section of the Appearance settings window and then right-clicking your username in the user list of a server and selecting Copy ID. I’ll go ahead and add some clarification to the README as well as the method documentation on what exactly should be passed in.
