Must options.path be FQDN ?

[derMani]

Hi, thanks for your work here.

I am using socket.io-proxy behind a SQUID proxy server, but got a lot of errors (400).

My init config looked this way

process.env.http_proxy = 'http://192.168.0.254';
proxy.init();
var socket = proxy.connect('http:/<mydomain>:61238');

Problem: The program tried to map the /socket.io/ path directly to the URL of the proxy server (192.168...)

I've searched a bit on the web and I saw a hint, that the "path" must be a FQDN value.
So i did this small hack here:

  var options = {
    hostname: typeof proxy !== 'undefined' ? proxy.hostname : hostname,
    port: typeof proxy !== 'undefined' ? proxy.port : port,
    path: requestUrl.pathname + qs,
    method: request.method,
    headers: request.headers
  };
  options.path = 'http://<mydomain>:61238'+options.path;

and it worked.

Question: Is this a problem in my app or squid configuration or is it worth to "fix" this could (for example directly in the options field)?
