Cookies

[Notadumdum]

For socket.io connections that use websockets instantly without starting off with polling;would cookies be considered as custom headers, if so could http request headers be considered as custom headers as well or there's an exception if I want to make use of it on the client side.. the main question is would headers not be able to be used at all?

Cookies are not sent via custom headers, they use the Cookie header which is defined in the HTTP spec. I believe all browsers send cookies when they make a WebSocket connection.

Can cookies be sent when using a nodejs socket.io client sir?

That is not my project, so I can't really give you definitive answers. But I assume you can send your cookies, since they are request headers after all.
