Question

I am trying to connect to a socket.io-client using the following code:

Server:

// Load requirements
var http = require(\'http\'),
    io = require(\'         


        

Answer 1

Also you need to add protocol with path.

change

var socket = io.connect('localhost:8080', {reconnect: true});

to

var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8080', {reconnect: true});
