Need to look at socket.io documentation and their site is down :(

go on www.archive.org and on the top of the site enter socket.io
Then select a snapshot from the 12. february or so. 🙂

Or look in Google's cache

Or use everything2.com, they have EVERYTHING

I tried archive.org and google cache they were painfully slow and broken, I also looked at the devdocs.io but could not load the socket.io docs (even on offline mode).

In the end i decided to use a different node.js websocket implementation. Ive already made a event wrapper for the client side so just have to do the same server side now.

socket.io has been causing me constant pain for the past couple months. There's a reason that half the examples on their site don't work. I wish I'd just took the time to write a custom web socket wrapper at the beginning.
