Client library is sent without cache headers

[Znarkus]

<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> this Javascript file is sent to the client without cache headers (ETag, Last-Modified etc).

Since this is quite large (70kB), it would be nice to allow the clients to cache it. Or is there a reason this isn't done?

Also: Would be nice if the docs said something about that it magically creates a route for this file. :)

There is a wiki on how to configure socket.io and its cache headers,

Same goes for the magic route

For anyone else with the same issue:

Wiki: https://github.com/LearnBoost/Socket.IO/wiki/Configuring-Socket.IO

Code:

io.enable('browser client minification');  // send minified client
io.enable('browser client etag');          // apply etag caching logic based on version number
io.enable('browser client gzip');          // gzip the file
io.set('log level', 1);                    // reduce logging
io.set('transports', [                     // enable all transports (optional if you want flashsocket)
    'websocket'
  , 'flashsocket'
  , 'htmlfile'
  , 'xhr-polling'
  , 'jsonp-polling'
]);

The docs are in the wiki. There's production settings you can enable to
ensure the file is served like you suggest.
