I have so far been unsuccessful in getting node.js integrated. I got a basic "hello, world" server running initially, and I have the dev version of this module partially running. I tried both the "recommended release" and the dev. I'm getting a "TypeError: Object #

has no method 'getAgent'" on "server.js:108 agent: http.getAgent(settings.backend.host, settings.backend.port),". I haven't been able to find any issue on this. I get it whenever I access the website from any browser, and the server crashes. If I comment out that line, the server runs without crashing. It seems to work fine when I access the site using IE, there are messages back and forth as expected. However, if I use Chrome or Firefox, I get a constant never ending stream of "warn - client not handshaken client should reconnect". From what I've been able to find, it sounds like that may be a socket.io issue, but I haven't seen any resolution. I'm using socket.io 0.8.5. Do I need to downgrade? Is there something else I'm doing wrong that no one else seems to be having these problems? Thanks!

Yes your node version is too recent, try the 0.4.7

just committed a fix for this, we don't need to use getAgent().

Finally! For any others with problems, it seems you have to have node.js 0.4.7 and socket.io 0.8.4. I do see that getAgent has been added back in. Otherwise the latest node.js might work...

So much for that...Chrome is working fine now, but Firefox is still doing the exact same thing with the endless stream of "client not handshaken...".

Hi, what is the actual version dream team then, in order to have a working environment ?

Nodejs module : 7.x-1.x-dev (based on this thread)
Node@0.4.7 (based on this thread)
(based on the README in nodejs drupal module) connect@1.1.4 + express@2.4.3 : but express seems to require connect@>1.5.2 while downgrading connect to 1.1.4
socket.io@0.8.4 (based on this thread)

Could you enlighten me on those compatibilities ?

I'm experiencing the same issue as the original poster on 6.x-1.x-dev while trying to utilize Node.js v0.6.0 and socket.io v.8 (via npm install). I think it would be a good idea to clarify on the project page or README.txt what versions this module is compatible with.
