Hey. I realize this was years ago, but if this somehow reaches you... I 
think I'm struggling with a similar issue and I would 
really appreciate your help :)

Just to clarify, you successfully got a c++ application to connect to your 
node server using a regular old tcp connection, right?

I'm trying to do that with a server that looks roughly like:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var server = require('http').createServer(app)
var io = require('socket.io').listen(server);

app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({
  ...
}));
app.use(app.router);

// response handling -------
app.get('/', function(req, res){
  console.log('request get /');
});

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
  console.log('sockets.io connection!');
});
// -------

port = 3000
app.listen(port);
console.log('Listening on port: ' + port);


When I connect from my application all seems well (the connection completes 
and I can send data without encountering any errors) but I never trigger 
anything on the node server (io.sockets.on('connection' ...) is never 
called and no errors are spit out).

Do you see anything obviously wrong with my approach?
Again, I really really appreciate any help you can give me!

Cheers,
-Wes
