Socket IO | How to get the client transport type on the serverside?

Question

I need to know what transport method a client is using for some conditional statements on the nodeJS serverside.

Does anyone know how I can get that information? Is it held within the client object?

Answer 1

As of Socket.IO 1.0:

Client:

socket.on('connect', function() {
    console.log(socket.io.engine.transport.name);
}

Server:

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
    console.log(socket.conn.transport.name);
}

Answer 2

In socket.io 0.7.6

io.sockets.on('connection', function(client) {
    console.log(io.transports[client.id].name);
});
