Socket.io Not Connecting

I'm wondering how I can connect to a socket.io websocket server externally. I've been using wscat to test connections but to no avail. The code I'm using is here. Anyways, I've tried wscat'ing to where I deployed it, which is c9, but that hasn't worked. I've recieved an ECONNREFUSED error from wscat. Is there a specific thing I need to do to enable socket.io connections from outside of a page hosted on the same server? The end game is to be able to connect to the socket.io server with an iOS app.

Thanks

You must use a Socket.IO library for your language. Socket.IO is not plain websockets and cannot be used as such.

Instead, look at something like: https://github.com/pkyeck/socket.IO-objc
