Answer 1

Ricardo Tomasi is correct, saved my life, i was going crazy.

Altough things changed, we are in 2013, there's still an issue opened (since 2 years) on this

probably something changed, anyway to register the 'connect' event i had to do this:

var openSocket = function (uniqueID) {
  var appSocket = io.connect('/'+uniqueID, { transports: ['websocket', 'xhr-polling']});
  appSocket.socket.on('connect', function () {
    console.log('i did connect.');
  });
  return appSocket;
};
