socket.io with http request












0















In my app I use socket.io app with express like following:



var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(http);

http.listen(3000, function () {console.log('*** listening on *:3000');});

io.on('connection', function(socket) { console.log('User is connected'); });

// express route
var router = express.Router();
router.route('download').get(function (req, res) {
fs.createReadStream(filePath).pipe(res);
});
app.use('/api', router);


After using http request to download file the socket.io connection is disconnected (ping timeout) and then reconnect.



Is there a problem to use http request if I have a socket connected using socket.io.



Note: when file is small the socket is always connected.

  • I guess you need to make the server listen after adding all routes.
