Cross-domain connection in Socket.IO

by

Quoting the socket.io FAQ:

Does Socket.IO support cross-domain connections?

Absolutely, on every browser!

As to how it does it: Native WebSockets are cross-domain by design, socket.io serves a flash policy file for cross-domain flash communication, XHR2 can use CORS, and finally you can always use JSONP.
