TL;DR:
Will ws://websocket.mtgox.com/mtgox continue to work?


Some days ago I connected to the old, deprecated websocket. Connecting works, but no data comes in any more.

Now thats an incentive to figure out socket.io :-)

edit:

As far as I know there is no possibility to do orders over the websocket...

Seems like now you can indeed do orders over socket.io:

Authenticated commands
These commands require an API key and secret pair to sign requests. Any of the "version 1" requests from the HTTP API can be called.

So I got the handshake coded, getting me my connection-ID. I then can connect to the websocket just fine.
However, I dont receive any data, only two messages: '1::' and '2::'. Both come once in the first few seconds of being connected, then total silence. I am not being disconnected neither, I think.
Do I have to join a channel? Or am I connected to the default channels just like before?
I dont have "sending messages" finished yet to test..

Any hints?
