How to unsubscribe from a socket.io subscription?

by

From looking at the source of socket.io.js (couldn’t find it in documentation anywhere), I found these two functions:

removeListener = function(name, fn)
removeAllListeners = function(name)

I used removeAllListeners successfully in my app; you should be able to choose from these:

socket.removeListener("news", cbProxy);
socket.removeAllListeners("news");

Also, I don’t think your solution of cbProxy = _blank would actually work; that would only affect the cbProxy variable, not any actual socket.io event.
