Answer 1

In my case I am using nginx as a reverse proxy. I was getting 404 errors when polling. This was the solution for me.

The url to the node server is https://example.com/subdir/

In the app.js I instantiated the io server with

var io = require('socket.io')(http, {path: '/subdir/socket.io'});

In the html I used

socket = io.connect('https://example.com/subdir/', {
    path: "/subdir"
});
