Socket.io - How to get client URL request on server side?

Question

In my app.js (server) I need to know from where (URL) the request came.

Currently, I\'m passing the URL as parameter from the client:

socket.emit(\'reque         


        

Answer 1

To obtain the connection URL

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {

    console.log("url: " + socket.handshake.url);

});

This will return something like: url: /socket.io/1/?t=1407807394827

Answer 2

For the entire URL you could use socket.handshake.headers.referer

io.on('connect', (socket) => {
     console.log(socket.handshake.headers.referer);
});
