..I try to get a simple python client running for days now. When I finally managed to connect via websockets, the first thing I read was "deprecated, use socket.io instead".
Instead of using socket.io (which I cant get to work) I could as well just connect to the underlying websocket just as before, not? I will not have fallback to longpoll etc in case the websocket dies and the socket.io still works. But besides that, my ticker should happily work with just websockets for the future, not?
Is there a new websocket daemon running now, for socket.io, with a different adress?
TL;DR:
Will ws://websocket.mtgox.com/mtgox continue to work?
Ente
the way it works: you connect to socket.io server and it will give you a unique ID which will be part of the url you can subsequently use to connect to websocket. socket.io is just a "negotiation protocol".
look at my python code here:
