Proxy-Socket.IO is a Node.JS server that makes WebSockets and realtime possible for non Node.JS applications throught the use of this simple Socket.IO server. It is pretty simple right now...

cd ./proxy-socket.io; npm install;

First, start proxy-socket.io server

node server.js 8080

Then send some commands via client side code:

<script src="http://localhost:8080/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
  var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8080');
  socket.on('connect', function(){
    socket.emit('proxy', {
      host: 'localhost',
      path: '/proxy-socket.io/demo/php/app.php/api/do-this'
    }, function(response) {
      console.log(response);
    });
  });
</script>

The proxy-socket.io will act as a websockt proxy to your application server and pushing JSON messages back and forth.
