You could just have a global object that contains all of the currently
connected users. Example (assuming server is a tcp server):
var users = {};
server.on('connection', function(socket) {
var id = socket.remoteAddress + ':' + socket.remotePort;
socket.cool_id = id;
users[id] = socket;
function removesock() {
if (users[id])
delete users[id];
}
socket.on('end', removesock);
socket.on('close', removesock);
});
Then you can just look up the id in `users` and access the socket
object directly if they're still connected.
