I'm trying to do cross-domain socket.io, but I'm experiencing an issue:
I always get XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://handsonwithnodejs.samarthwiz.c9.io/socket.io/1/?t=1358882710333. Origin https://c9.io is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin
.
Server code:
var app = require('http').createServer(handler)
, io = require('socket.io').listen(app)
, fs = require('fs')
app.listen(process.env.PORT);
function handler (req, res) {
fs.readFile(__dirname + '/index.html',
function (err, data) {
if (err) {
res.writeHead(500);
return res.end('Error loading index.html');
}
res.writeHead(200);
res.end(data);
});
}
io.set('origins', '*:*');
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
socket.emit('news', { hello: 'world' });
socket.on('my other event', function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
});
On line 19 io.set('origins', '*:*');
I tried replacing ':' with '*', 'https://c9.io', 'c9.io','https://c9.io/' and '.', some times when I add something like 'c9.io/'
I get warn 'illegal origin ...' but that is just a cloud9 related issue.
Client code:
<html>
<body>
<script src="https://raw.github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io-client/master/dist/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
var socket = io.connect('http://handsonwithnodejs.samarthwiz.c9.io');
socket.on('news', function (data) {
console.log(data);
socket.emit('my other event', { my: 'data' });
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I know that using github to get my script isn't the best idea yet, but I wanted to keep my code clean and the error messages readable(everything in 'socket.io.min.js' is on line 2)
P.S. 1. I know that there are other threads like this but they didn't solve my problem. 2. Please don't reply 'Just host the page on the same server as socket.io' I need it to be cross-domain for a reason.
