Connect to Socket.IO server with specific path and namespace

Question

My Node.js application is running at URL http://www.example.com/myapp/.

I have configured a Socket.IO server (version 1.3.5) with a custom namespace. Here is an example code snippet:

var server = http.createServer(...); var io = socketio(server); io     .of('/a/b/c')     .on('connection', function (socket) {         socket.emit('update', {msg: '/a/b/c'});     }); 

I can't figure out how to connect to this service from the client. My guesses (none of these is working):

io.connect('http://www.example.com/myapp/a/b/c'); io.connect('http://www.example.com', {path: '/myapp/a/b/c'}); io.connect('', {path: '/myapp/a/b/c'}); io.connect('http://www.example.com/a/b/c', {path: '/myapp'}); io.connect('http://www.example.com', {path: '/myapp/socket.io/a/b/c'});

On your server, don't forget to specify the path as well:

var io  = require('socket.io')(http, { path: '/myapp/socket.io'});  io .of('/my-namespace') .on('connection', function(socket){     console.log('a user connected with id %s', socket.id);      socket.on('my-message', function (data) {         io.of('my-namespace').emit('my-message', data);         // or socket.emit(...)         console.log('broadcasting my-message', data);     }); }); 

On your client, don't confuse namespace and path:

var socket = io('http://www.example.com/my-namespace', { path: '/myapp/socket.io'});
