Is it possible to have socket.io NOT be the webserver?
I want to use an external webserver, and for that to work I need /socket.io/socket.io.js.
Is there an alternative to copying[1] that, because I don't want to use any crazy proxying, etc. This should be plug and play, so I can grab the file, and move it to another server and have it work there (kind-of like what Websockets is supposed to be like).
[1] = I can sniff the file and make a copy, but this seems hacky and dirty. I want something clean and elegant.
This is just a duplicate of How to use socket.io to communicate with another server when the actual page is being served by a localhost server?
You need to have <script src="http://my.url:port/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> instead of <script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> to make it work.
Thanks to Linus G. Theil for the answer.
