Back within your Rails application you would have the following changes.

# config/secrets.yml
    development:
      faye_url: https://192.168.1.30:8080/faye

# layouts/application.html.erb
    <%= javascript_include_tag "#{Rails.application.secrets.faye_url}/faye.js" %>
    <%= content_tag :body, data: { faye: Rails.application.secrets.faye_url } do %>
      ...
    <% end %>

# assets/javascript/application.js
    $(document).ready(function() {
      var faye_url = $("body").attr('data-faye');
      if (faye_url) {
        var faye = new Faye.Client(faye_url);
        $('.subscribe').each( function(){
         faye.subscribe('/' + $(this).data('channel'), function(data) { return eval(data)});
        })
      }
    });

# helpers/application_helper.rb
    def broadcast_message(channel, content)
      message = { channel: channel, data: content, ext: {auth_token: 'secret'}}
      uri = URI.parse(Rails.application.secrets.faye_url)
      http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
      request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri)
      request.set_form_data(message: message.to_json)
      return http.request(request)
    end
