Can I set up socket.io chat on heroku?

Question

I have a simple socket.io chat application which I\'ve uploaded to one of the new Heroku \'cedar\' stacks.

Now I almost have everything working but I\'ve hit one stumbli

Answer 1

The correct way according the article on heroku is:

io.configure(function () { 
  io.set("transports", ["xhr-polling"]); 
  io.set("polling duration", 10); 
});
socket = new io.Socket();

This ensures that io.Socket won't try to use WebSockets.
