How do I get socket.io running for a subdirectory

Question

I've got a proxy running that only hits my node.js server for paths that being with /mysubdir How do I get socket.io configured for this situation?

In my client code I tried:

var socket = io.connect('http://www.example.com/mysubdir'); 

but then I notice that the underlying socket.io (or engine.io) http requests are hitting

http://www.example.com/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=1410972713498-72` 

I want them to hit

http://www.example.com/mysubdir/socket.io..... 

Is there something I have to configure on the client and the server?

Answer 1

In my server I had to

var io = require('socket.io')(httpServer, {path: '/mysubdir/socket.io'})` 

In my client I had to

<script src="http://www.example.com/mysubdir/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> 

and also

var socket = io.connect('http://www.example.com', {path: "/mysubdir/socket.io"});`
