socket.io connection on same origin, but different port

[Kai]

Hi!

I am sure that my question has been answered several times, but I
didn't find any valuable answers. I am running an application on
http://localhost:4444 and want to connect to my socket.io server
running at http://localhost:8888 . The following code works fine when
I am on the same domain/ port, but not from port 4444:

var conn = io.connect("http://localhost:8888");
conn.on("connect", function(){alert("Connect")});

I am not sure if the same origin policies are valid here, why isn't
the connection successful?

Thank you for answering this stupid question!

[Kai]

I can't imagine that nobody had tried to access a socketio-server from
another port? No hint for me what I am doing wrong?

Well our complete test-runner runs cross port, so `we` got it working here, so I wonder what your setup it

[Daniel Shaw]

Yeah, definitely not an issue. Check to make sure you're loading the
client-side libraries and double check your setup.
What does http://localhost:8888/socket.io/socket.io.js report?

I could break down the problem to a simple test page, it must have to
do something with XHTML vs HTML. When I save https://gist.github.com/15fc854708f97cb9323e
in test.html and test.xhtml and call them via http://localhost:4444/test.(html|xhtml),
the file ending with xhtml doesn't alert the expected output. I won't
be able to switch to HTML, so do you have any idea what could cause
this issue?

Weird, I think I found the issue. I changed line 1539 in /socket.io/
socket.io.js :

- , script = document.createElement('SCRIPT');
+ , script = document.createElement('script');

When creating a script-Tag instead of a SCRIPT-Tag all works fine! I
am not sure if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong - any
opinions?

sounds like an IE issue...

Since HTML must be lowercase, this isn't a real issue.

The issue is reproducable in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (I am not
working with IE). I think the answer is: XHTML is based on XML, and
therefore element names are case sensitive and have to be lower case
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.2).

So this seems to be a real issue, I created a ticket:
