Answer 1

As of version 2.0.0 / 2017-01-22 engine.io-client supports

[feature] Allow extraHeaders to be set for browser clients in XHR requests (#519)

However at this point the socket.io-client is not updated to support this functionality, so couple of days may make this saga end until that time use the following instructions: https://facundoolano.wordpress.com/2014/10/11/better-authentication-for-socket-io-no-query-strings/
