Can I request scripts for use in a Spotify app?

I'm trying to use socket.io in my spotify app and the get request for [domain]/socket.io/socket.io.js keeps getting canceled. I've added the domain to the manifest and everything.

Thanks!

I can add that when you use socket.io it will try to initialize Flash to check if flash is available so if you find a white box in Spotify (only in Windows), remove the swbobjects initialization in the socket.io.js on the node server.

Try restarting Spotify. Your app's manifest.json file is loaded when you first view your app, and cached until you quit, even if you modify it.

Note: How external resource permissions work

In order to request external resources, your application needs to specify each domain it plans to connect to in its manifest.json file.

Add a line like this:

{
  // ...
  "RequiredPermissions": [ "http://*.spotify.com", "http://spotify.com", "http://test.example.com" ]
  // ...
}

For the full details check out the Permissions section of the Spotify Apps API Guide.
