Socket.io not working with Nginx reverse proxy from port 80.

This should be solution: https://chrislea.com/2013/02/23/proxying-websockets-with-nginx/

We should be able to use Express for serving the port number being used by Socket.io

Endpoint GET /serverConfig:

{ 
"port":  1234
}

Fixed by upgrading Nginx to version 1.5.6. Looks like websocket support in version 1.3.13 ( see https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io/wiki/Nginx-and-Socket.io ) See http://stackoverflow.com/a/18658950/2578205 for Nginx solution to websockets.
