title: node.js - GET [[hostname]]/socket.io/1/ - 404 (Not Found)
body: <p>Socket.io doesn't seem to be serving up its socket.io.js file with connect.</p>
  
  <p>here is my server.js code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    var app = require('http').createServer(handler),
    io = require('socket.io').listen(app),
    xml2js = require('xml2js'),
    parser = new xml2js.Parser(),
    fs = require('fs');
  
  // creating the server ( localhost:8000 )
  app.listen(8080);
  
  
  // on server started we can load our client.html page
  
  function handler(req, res) {
        console.log('liccy');
  
    fs.readFile(__dirname + '/', function(err, data) {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        res.writeHead(500);
        return res.end('Error loading client.html');
      }
      res.writeHead(200);
      res.end(data);
    });
  }
  
  // creating a new websocket to keep the content updated without any AJAX request
  io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
    console.log(__dirname);
    // watching the xml file
    fs.watch(__dirname + '/example.xml', function(curr, prev) {
      // on file change we can read the new xml
      fs.readFile(__dirname + '/example.xml', function(err, data) {
        if (err) throw err;
        // parsing the new xml data and converting them into json file
        parser.parseString(data);
      });
    });
    // when the parser ends the parsing we are ready to send the new data to the frontend
    parser.addListener('end', function(result) {
  
      // adding the time of the last update
      result.time = new Date();
      socket.volatile.emit('notification', result);
    });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and my html code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;script src="/node/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/dist/socket.io.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
     &lt;script&gt;
      // creating a new websocket
        var socket = io.connect('http://betty.dev');
        // on every message recived we print the new datas inside the #container div
        socket.on('notification', function (data) {
          $('.test').html(data.test.sample[0]);
          $('time').html('Last Update:' + data.time);
        });
      &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And my xml file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?&gt;
  &lt;test&gt;
      &lt;sample&gt;Hi 1!&lt;/sample&gt;
  &lt;/test&gt;
