title: Socket.io working on desktop safari & chrome, but not mobile
body: <p>I'm using socket.io to establish communication between server and html5 client and everything is working fine on desktop and safari on iPhone simulator. The client fails to establish connection though when I try to run it from any iOS or even android device.</p>
  
  <p>Using web inspector, I was unable to output console error on my ios7 device, but managed to get a list of resource with an item under XHR attempting to connect to the server ip address and fails after about 2 to 3 minutes (turns red)</p>
  
  <p>My iOS device is iOS 7.03 (iPhone 4), and I'm using node v0.10.21, and socket.io v0.9.16
  I'm also using ip addresses to connect so I'm not sure if there is a same domain restriction that applies</p>
  
  <p>The following are the relevant parts from the client:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="http://xx.xx.xx.xx:port/socket.io/socket.io.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  var socket =  io.connect("http://xx.xx.xx.xx:port");
  
  socket.on('connect', function() {
      console.log("connected");
  }
  
  socket.on('disconnect', function() {
      console.log("disconencted");
  }
  
  socket.on('message', function(data) {
      console.log("rcved:"+ data*emphasized text*);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>server</p>
  
  <pre><code>var io = require('socket.io').listen(12321).set('log level', 0);
  var ConnectionHandler = require('./handler.js');
  
  
  io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
  new ConnectionHandler(socket);
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Might I also point out that when I enable full logging on server side, no connection are attempt for a connection is made from mobile devices, just the desktop devices and iOS simulator.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on a fix or how to pursue a solution to this problem is appreciated</p>
