set server and port clientside?

[stefa_n]

Hi,
if now.js isn't hosted by the server running nowJS, is there a way to
use server and port stored locally?
Thanks.

Hey Stefan,

Yes!

Instead of using the version of the client lib hosted at
http://yourserver/nowjs/now.js,

Use the default client provided in GitHub:
https://github.com/Flotype/now/blob/master/lib/client/now.js

And on the client side, call the manual connection function:
`window.now = nowInitialize('http://myserver:9000');

Note that this still seems to pull socket.io/socket.io.js from your server.
