Simplified the connection code

[Nichii]

Client socket.io connection can be made to the server just by calling the 'io();' function. Source: https://socket.io/docs/client-api/

Stated in url parameter for 'io([url][, options]);' function:

• url (String) (defaults to window.location)

The above replaces the 'io.connect(http://${ip}:${port})' which makes it impossible to connect to the server if your URL doesn't follow the same template.

In addition to that, I have added the ability to connect by a specific URL (if your server is hosted elsewhere) with a new function called sio_connect_by_url(url: string) and removed the lowercase event name restriction.

This may cause minor rewrites required from the Wiki, examples and GMS/GMS2's extension.

Thanks for merging it. Can we have an updated release on GitHub soon?

Also, there are still some minor corrections in the Wiki:

• sio_reconnect() - sio_connect_by_url() should be replaced by sio_connect_by_url(url:string) for clarity.
• sio_addEvent(eventName:string) - The event only passes the JSON-string if it's of object type, otherwise it just passes the string right away.
• sio_emit(eventName:string, data:string) - Event name is now case sensitive and data can be either string or JSON-string.

Release for GMS 2 is up. GMS 1.x will follow soon.

Updated wiki, thanks.
