socket.io about http-auth

[LaKing]

I found a solution. Maybe worth to mention in the readme, ... ?

var getUserName = function(socket) {
    if (!socket.handshake.headers.authorization) return;
    if (socket.handshake.headers.authorization.search('Basic ') !== 0) return;
    var auth = new Buffer(socket.handshake.headers.authorization.split(' ')[1], 'base64').toString().split(":");
    return auth.shift();
};

Thanks, I think you need to get HTTP request object somehow and read user property, however not sure how. Will be able to look into this on Monday.

Yes, that would do too.
