socket.io makes 404 requests

Question

I get 404 on urls like this: http://localhost.dev/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=1411749802784-54

SOCKET IO VERSION: 1.x

APP.JS

    var express = require("express"),
    app     = express(),
    server  = require('http').createServer(app),
    io      = require('socket.io').listen(server),

server.listen(8080);

app.get('/', function(req,res){
    console.log('started');
});

//Receive message
io.sockets.on('connection',function(socket){
    socket.on('send message',function(data){
        //Send message out
        io.sockets.emit('new message',data);
    });
});

So I have my website which is running on port 80 and nodejs on port 8080 and I include socket.io js file like this: <script src="http://localhost.dev:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> and I can open the socket.io.js file in a new tab, but I guess this has something to do with the new version, I am just getting started with node.

//LE

$(document).ready(function(){
    //Socket.io
    var socket = io.connect();
    //Form
    var $messageForm      = $('#chatForm');
    var $messageFormInput = $messageForm.find('#messageText');
    var $chat             = $('.chat');

    //Bind submit form
    $messageForm.submit(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        socket.emit('send message',$messageFormInput.val());
        //Clear input
        $messageFormInput.val('');
    });

    //Receive message
    socket.on('new message',function(data){
        $chat.append(data);
    });









});

Does anyone know how can I fix this?

Try

var socket = io.connect('http://localhost.dev:8080');
