Question

I’d like to access the sockjs api that meteor leverages to do its real-time updating. Meteor emits something like http://localhost:3000/sockjs/348/zfjta7hy/xhr and I’d like to leverage the sockjs api in order to circumvent the pub/sub stuff in meteor with something like this:

var sock = new SockJS('http://localhost:3000/sockjs/dynamically_created_by_meteor');

And then simply use sock to do some collaborative work that’s outside the scope of meteor’s real-time updating. I haven’t dug through the code enough yet to see this, but am wondering if anyone has an idea on how I can get a sockjs url handle in meteor? Thanks for your help!
