You're not calling the function in the context of the namespace, either call it:

io.sockets.send('something'); or use call

var send = io.sockets.send;
send.call(io.sockets, 'something');

@yads thx for your reply!

@yads lol yeah i know what i'm doing. i just thought you guys did not want to keep this behaviour as it quite odd on my personal point of view.

but if it's a "design choice", then cool.

i believe function like that should be "binded" to it's scope to avoid this kind of old school javascript issues.
