When using socket.io.js from 1.0.x, no connection can be established. The client is trying to make connections to http://stream.wikimedia.org/socket.io/?EIO=2&transport=polling&t=1402016180378-0 Which are all 404. So I guess this is part of the new protocol that is not compatible. I don't know whether 1.0.x intends to be incompatible with the old protocol, or whether it is failing the to the CORS error (which makes it impossible for it to see that it is a 404).
v1.0 changes the protocol substantially. Apart from bragging rights about using the latest and greatest, I don't see major gains to be had. 0.9 is well-tested. IMO, we should upgrade in lock-step with what is available in Debian Testing.
(Not to mention: we want to give the popular client libraries time to upgrade, too.)
