I'm trying to setup socket.io to connect to a stream server with a different origin.
The server is a dedicated stream server as part of a larger setup and is based on Express.io:
var express = require('express.io'),
config = require('./config'),
app = express().http().io();
app.io.set('origin','*:*');
app.all('*', function(req, res, next) {
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With, Content-Type");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", 'GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD', 'OPTIONS');
// Tried with and without this header
res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', false);
next();
});
app.io.route('ready', function(req) {
req.io.emit('talk', {
message: 'io event from an io route on the server'
});
});
app.listen(4000, function(){
console.log('Listening on port ' + config.port);
});
Trying to open a connection it results in the following error:
http://localhost:4000/?EIO=2&transport=polling&t=1407621822859-65.
A wildcard '*' cannot be used in the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header when the credentials flag is true.
Origin 'http://localhost:8080' is therefore not allowed access.
How can I set up such a connection?
Thanks!
