C client for socket.io

Question

I am trying to establish a connection from a program in C to a node server with socket.io.

The only way I could figure out was to make http request from the C program to the node server so I have dis part a little covered.

Now I need to receive some information from the node server from the C program.

Is there any client library for c that lets me do this? In case it does not exist, could you gime me some ideas to make it work?

Thank you very much!
