## README

# socket.io-client-cookie

Send cookies from nodejs in the socket.io-client (Monkeypatch)

## What?

SocketIO use a javascript implementation of xmlhttprequest (github.com/driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest) which does not allow settings cookies due to the specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/) so this is monkey patch to set cookies in the xmlhttprequest lib used by socket io (./node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/engine.io-client/node_modules/xmlhttprequest)

Most of the info was taken from here:
