Node.js restify with socket.io

Question

Node.js restify with socket.io

Is it possible to run socket.io & restify on the same port like express & socket.io?

I did just like this but it didn't work

# server.coffee
restify = require 'restify'
socket  = require 'socket.io'

server = restify.createServer()

io = socket.listen server
server.listen 1337

when I try to connect to socket.io:

GET http://localhost:1337/socket.io/socket.io.js 404 (Not Found)

node.js
rest
websocket
socket.io
restify

Since this is the first google hit for "restify socket.io" I'm posting a new answer. This works fine now as documented at http://mcavage.me/node-restify/#Socket.IO

Answer 2

As suggested here by @jtomasrl and @zacheryph, this worked for me:

var server = restify.createServer();
var io = socketio.listen(server.server); //Note server.server instead of just server

Answer 3

Apparently, using socket.io with restify is not possible yet: https://github.com/mcavage/node-restify/issues/230
