I've been using socket.io to create a websocket enabled server in node.js, and its great. Now i'd like however, to create a server-side client in node.js which can connect to a websocket server elsewhere. Are there any libraries out there for this?
Thanks

Using websocket-node To implement the WebSocket client on Node. js, you can use one of the many package libraries available. One of the simplest is 'websocket-node,' a pure JavaScript implementation of the WebSocket protocol for Node.
Client authentication import { createServer } from 'http'; import { WebSocketServer } from 'ws'; const server = createServer(); const wss = new WebSocketServer({ noServer: true }); wss. on('connection', function connection(ws, request, client) { ws. on('message', function message(data) { console.
What is WebSocket? Websocket is a simple to use, fast and tested WebSocket client and server implementation. The Websocket specification defines an API establishing a connection between a web browser and server. WebSocket is used for creating real-time games, chat applications, displaying stock data, etc.
WebSocket Connection. HTTP Connection. WebSocket is a bidirectional communication protocol that can send the data from the client to the server or from the server to the client by reusing the established connection channel.

Not any that are great.
I talked to Guillermo about this on mailing list a couple days ago, see http://groups.google.com/group/socket_io/browse_thread/thread/74e9ff6d7e931f6e
I wrote this as a bootstrap to help in my testing: https://github.com/jmoyers/mettle/blob/master/test/test-socket.coffee#L18-49
Guillermo is working on one here for 0.7: https://github.com/LearnBoost/Socket.IO-node-client
