[Vuejs]-Socket.io will not accept connection

Well… the issue is that I’m using vue-native-websocket Socket.io is NOT a native websocket handler and adds extra header information which was lacking apparently. I switches to just using ws in node and it works fine.

From the Socket.io docs.

Socket.IO is NOT a WebSocket implementation. Although Socket.IO indeed uses WebSocket as a transport when possible, it adds some metadata to each packet: the packet type, the namespace and the packet id when a message acknowledgement is needed. That is why a WebSocket client will not be able to successfully connect to a Socket.IO server, and a Socket.IO client will not be able to connect to a WebSocket server either.
