I know a lot had change with socket.io since 0.6 to the new > 0.7. I would like to use it in desktop based apps that are built with XUL and the XULRunner platform which is the base framework for FF Thunderbird etc. but because it is just a framework somethings don't exist as they normal would in the browser as the DOM markup is a little bit different.

Has Anyone used MozWebSockets to connect to a socket.io server or is there a js lib that is platform independent that will allow native Websocket clients to connect to a socket.io server

I am guessing something like Socket.IO-node-client might work, but some of the requires would have to be reworked as that is specific to Node.js

Thanks
