Socket.io with Apache cordova function syntax

I've been working on a project to make an Android application using cordova, and I want to use socket.io to interact with the web server, the problem is I can't find detailed information on how the functions work, or event what parameters it's using, or simply I can't figure them out. For example here is my problem:

<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.socket.io/socket.io-1.0.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    app.initialize();
    document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {
        var socket = io.connect('http://192.168.1.198:8888');
        socket.on('connect', function() {
            socket.on('text', function(text) {
                alert(text);
            });
        });
    });
</script>

I'm using that as my client and this as my server

var port        = Number(process.argv[2]);
var net         = require('net');
var timeOut     = 1000 * 60;

var server = net.createServer(function (socket) {
  socket.setTimeout(timeOut);
  socket.setKeepAlive(true,0);

  console.log("Socket Start: "+socket.remoteAddress+":"+socket.remotePort);

  socket.on('error', function(e) {
    console.log(e);
  });

  socket.on('timeout', function() {
    console.log("Socket Timeout: "+socket.remoteAddress+":"+socket.remotePort);
    socket.end();
  });

  socket.on('data', function(data) {
    socket.setTimeout(timeOut);
    console.log("Socket: "+socket.remotePort+" Sent: "+data.toString());
  });

  socket.on('end', function() {
    socket.destroy();
  });

});

if (isNaN(port)) port = 8888;
server.listen(port, '');
console.log("Server listening on Port:"+port);

So the issue is that I'm getting data as if it were an http.request, and that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid when I decided to try my luck with sockets. Here is an example output:

Server listening on Port:8888
Socket Start: 192.168.1.193:58811
Socket: 58811 Sent: GET /socket.io/?EIO=2&transport=polling&t=1427137611586-0 HTTP/1.1 (This is my problem, I don't want this sent)
Host: 192.168.1.193:8888
Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.2; sdk Build/KK) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/30.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36

So is there any way that the information in "Socket" doesn't get sent by my application?
