Understanding namespaces inside the client URLs

[jjoschyy]

Hello

Thanks a lot for the spec. Except for "namespaces", i was able to get a good understandment of the Socket.IO Protocol. The following questions occured. Is it right that:

• On a "handshake" the namespace is NO part of the URL (e.g. http://localhost/socket.io/1)?
• On creating a websocket transport connection, the namespace is NO part of the URL (e.g. ws://localhost/socket.io/1/websocket/234234234)?

If I replace "socket.io" inside the URL with a custom namespace, i got no valid connection. The server says "non-socket.io upgrade". Therefore, in which URL do I have to set the namespace?

Best regards,
Joachim
