Injecting a HTTP request into a running server (unified socket api)

[Prajwal Manjunath]

Hello,

What is the best way to "fake" the *request* event of http module? My use case is to make a socket.io API that looks like a http verb api (similar to SailsJS) so generic routers can be used for sockets (like koa-route).

The Sails implementation fakes a request using a mocking module. I find it quite inelegant however, and was wondering if there is any significant performance penalty to do it instead with http.request('localhost')?

Thanks!
