is this lib available via CDN?

Back on version 1.4.5, I could use this link to load socket.io into my front-end

'socketio': '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/socket.io/1.4.5/socket.io',

and I could use socket.io in the browser like so

             var socket  = io.connect('http://127.0.0.1:3400');

               socket.on('error', function (err) {
               
               });

               socket.on('connect', function () {
              
               });

My concern is that with versions 1.7.x and greater, I should be importing socket.io-client into the front-end, however, I don't see any CDN's hosting socket.io-client, do I need it? How can I get it via CDN?

thanks!

@darrachequesne is that the same as socket.io-client? that's the confusing thing

[darrachequesne]

Yes it is (it wouldn't make sense to provide a server build for the browser, would it?).

Would you know how we could make it clearer in the documentation?

[ORESoftware]

hmmm, beyond naming it socket.io-client instead of socket.io, I honestly don't know :) If it is a client/browser build, it should be called socket.io-client, right?

regarding a server build for the client, I suppose in some cases it would make sense, but not in very many cases.

It seems it's a bit too late for that 😃 : https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs/pull/31/files
