You mentioned Socket.io for realtime communications. I'm working on an IGB app of my own, and I have yet to find a library (SignalR, socket.io) that works reliably. I have found some chat demos that work in the IGB, but nothing I do locally works. Have you found a library/config that allows you to push data/call client methods from the server into the IGB consistently? Thanks!


Using sockets was the original plan, but I never got so far that I tried any lib in the IGB. I have since heard that sockets aren't supported, so maybe it was for the better. I'm sure most real time libs has fallbacks to long poll etc., but it feels like sockets is the main attraction.

I settled on classic short polling for my app. That way I don't have to invoke any header state checks client side either. It comes at a hefty price of more requests and less accuracy though.

Shameless bump for attention.
