Question

I’m using socket.io. It works well, but I have a short doubt about the performance. I’m not sure that I use well the connection.

Here my client script (jade template language):

!!! 5
html
  head
    title Foo
    script(type='text/javascript', src='/javascript/socket.io.min.js')
    script(type='text/javascript')
      socket = new io.Socket('localhost', 3000);
      socket.connect();
      socket.on('message', function(data) {
      });
  body

This script is loaded on each page (because it’s my layout page). So on each page, the socket connects to the server socket. That’s my problem, I don’t like this idea.

Is it possible to connect once the client socket to the server socket for every client’s pages ?

In addition, is it possible to load once (per client) the /javascript/socket.io.min.js library ?

Thanks.

Check pjax, I hope it will help you.
