Node.js的非事件驱动套接字模块

Question

I've created a server with Node.js using Socket.io and now I need to let a Python client connect to it.

What troubles me is to understand how the "keywords" in Socket.io affects this connection. For example, this is how it is originally done on the server side:

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

  socket.on('request', function(msg){
     console.log(msg);
  });
});

which means that the Python client would have to do something like this (if I were to run it as a script in the terminal):

establishConnection 12.12.12.12:3000 'connection'
//connection established ...
sendData('request', {data : 'hello'});

This is not preferable, and I need to modify the server to accept socket requests without the keywords, like this

establishConnection 12.12.12.12:3000
//connection established ...
sendData({data : 'hello'});

Is this possible to do with Socket.io?

Answer 1

There is no way, in the api, to get all packages from the socket.io library.

To get all packets from socket.io you can do an ugly hack and override onevent or onpacket of the socket .

Like this:

socket.onevent = function () {
    console.log(arguments);
}

{ '0': { type: 2, nsp: '/', data: [ 'chat message', 'hei' ] } }

Note that this is undocumented, and unsupported, so the API might very likely break.
