Getting Socket.io to work with newly SSL Encrypted website

Sorry if I'm missing some information, this is my first post on stackoverflow.

I've had my website that had regular http requests but today I've added SSL Encryption to my website as I've heard it'll attract better traffic to my website, however after I've added SSL to my website I'm getting errors from socket.io: "ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED".

EDIT: Another important note is that when I type in the url with http and not htttps the socket connects to the port.

Thanks in advance for the help.
