GCDAsyncSocket "socket.io" compatible?

[eric e. dolecki]

I am using GCDAsyncSocket to connect to a socket.io server. I seem to
be able to connect - although the Terminal on the socket.io socket
doesn't state it. If I send data the connection is dropped.

Is GCDAsyncSocket "socket.io" compatible?

I would be interested here to ... do you already know more about that?

Hi Oliver,

short answer: GCDAsyncSocket is „socket.io“ compatible (and probably always was). :)

Long answer: GCDAsyncSocket is a TCP/IP networking library, but it doesn’t implemented higher level protocols like HTTP or WebSocket. To get it to connect to a socket.io server you would have to write all the protocol handling yourself.

Out of curiosity I set up a little test project - quick’n’dirty proof of concept. I attached the project to this email (tested in Xcode 5.0.2/iOS Simulator 7.0). Use the server.js in the project directory as endpoint (it’s all on localhost port 22222). When you tap on the button it sends the local time to the server (look in the server console). The responses from the server are logged to the Xcode console.

If you need help let me know.

Cheers

Arno

Hi Arno,

thanks a lot for your Demo Project, very very kind of you! :-)

Got it running on iOS, but sadly it didn't work with Apportable to run on an Android device, which was the plan.

So I hope the people from Apportable will manage to get RocketSocket running somewhen, which seems to be easier to handle with Sockets.IO

Cheers,

Oliver
