Multiple socket.io connections on the same page

Question

Can I connect to multiple resources on the same IP and port on the client side?

I have the following code-

var myIP = \"192.168.1.1\";
var myPort = \         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

A = io.connect(myIP+':'+myPort, {resource: 'A/socket.io', 'force new connection': true});
B = io.connect(myIP+':'+myPort, {resource: 'B/socket.io', 'force new connection': true});

(Yes, I removed some of the quotes)

Answer 2

I would also mention Namespaces... a lot of times what you're trying to do is handle reconnect events on a per socket basis, namespaces do this for you. Their major upside is you don't need to have a connection per each one, which means they don't contribute to the 6-connections-per-domain limit of browsers.

To connect, simply do this:

socket = io('/namespace')
