Hi Rex.
I have tried both the official websocket and Zacks socketio plugin, and neither work (neither try and make any connection, nor send any data, nor repsond to any message).
Do you have a general purpose socket.io plugin which you use? I looked at your list of plugins, and you only seem to have lobby, bottleneck and chat plugins, not one I can use.
I have a very simple test node.js app:
var io = require("socket.io").listen(8080);
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log("connected");
socket.emit('balls', { ball:42 });
socket.on('daub', function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
});
And if I hit it with a simple js page:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script src="socket-io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8080');
socket.on('balls', function (data) {
console.log(data);
socket.emit('daub', { my: 'data' });
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
It works perfectly. But i have yet to find any socketio or web socket plugin which will work (or even connect), e.g. this doesnt:
System=>On start of layout: Socket - Connect to "ws://localhost" (set to 8080 in dialogue)
does not make, or attempt to make, any connection to node server.
