Streaming is slower than it should be, when accessing the site via mapped domain #19

After the latest release, the Twitter streaming has become temperamental and significantly slower- but only when accessing a deployed version via a domain (e.g. http://sentiment-sweep.com ) as opposed to an IP + port (e.g. http://109.73.175.183:3003/ )

See this Q on SO, for more details.

But why? #bindBlown 🤯

Cause

This issue was caused by socket.io V 2.0+ is not backward compatible.

Solution

The ideal fix would have been to verify all handshakes and/or make the app fully SL compatible, but as a temporary solution, downgraded to the last stable version of socket.io (V 1.7.0) and everything is dreamy again.
