Define transport types on the client side

Question

I need to use jsonp-polling for IE, and xhr-polling for Firefox, so I tried to define types of transports on the client side like this:

    if (/Firefox[\\         


        

Answer 1

The bug is now fixed in socket.io version 0.9.6, I can use this and it works fine :

socket = io.connect(HOST_REMOTE, {
    transports: ['xhr-polling']
});

In version 1.0.0 and above:

socket = io.connect(HOST_REMOTE, {
    transports: ['polling']
});

Answer 2

there is a bug in socket.io.client.

so you can not set transports in client...

function Socket (options) {
this.options = {
    port: 80
  , secure: false
....
};

io.util.merge(this.options, options);
....
};

should be io.util.merge(this.options, options,0);....
