I have mobile clients connected to a node.js server, running socket.io via xhr-polling. I have two type of clients:

  When the connection break

Answer 1

In socket.io 1.x, the API has changed but the concept remains the same.

Instead of heartbeatInterval and heartbeatTimeout, the properties are pingInterval and pingTimeout. For example,

var server = app.listen(80);
io = socketio(server,{'pingInterval': 45000});

See the documentation at http://socket.io/docs/server-api/#server(opts:object), which will direct you to https://github.com/Automattic/engine.io#methods-1.
