Communication between client side javascript and C++ socket server

I would like to communicate between my browser on the client PC and a C++ socket server running on an another PC. I researched online pretty much enough. I came across socket.io, HTML5 Websockets.

Though I am not sure about socket.io, websockets require a server that supports websockets. The pure old C++ socket server does not. Changing the server side is not an option. Is there anything else I can do with websockets?

Using socket.io, can I achieve the goal without installing an interpreter like nodejs on the server side? Any additional introduction of Javascript/Jquery library on the client side is affordable.

Or is there any other approach I can use?

Thank you.

C++ sockets and websockets are quite different things, having "socket" in their names doesn't mean they operate the same. Websockets protocol is RFC6455. There're several C++ libraries for implementing websocket support, if you can't use any type of web server.
