Are there any simple sample code showing ngrok forwarding socket.io/websocket (running under nodejs on localhost)?
In other words, does
ngrok http 3000
work with a nodejs server and socket.io running on port 3000? Or something like
ngrok http+tcp 3000 (just wild guessing)
EDIT:
to answer my own question after help from ngrok.com
simply use
ngrok http 3000
You will see the web address string that localhost binds to. So in the client javascript code, change
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:3000');
to
var socket = io.connect('http://94349fe6.ngrok.io');
NOTE:
http://94349fe6.ngrok.io
is just that web address string. Yours will be different from this one.
EDIT AGAIN:
actually, if one simply does:
var socket = io();
"it defaults to trying to connect to the host that serves the page"
So it works as well.
