JSON flag reset

[renajohn]

I'm using ZeroMQ and I've binded my ZeroMQ socket with my Socket.IO client in the following way:

// client is a socket.io client
client.__listener = client.json.send.bind(client);

zmqSocket.on("message", client.__listener);      

This use to work just fine with version 0.6, where I was calling client.__listener = client.send.bind(client).

Here is the workaround I'm using:

client.__listener = function(msg){
   client.json.send(msg);
};  

zmqSocket.on("message", client.__listener);          

Any idea why the first snipped doesn't work?

Thanks,
Renault

The .json property is a setter, and it sets a internal flag, telling socket.io that the input is JSON and it will return this so you can use the send function.

When the data is send, we reset the flag to prevent clashes with other send methods.

You are just storing the send method, not flag, so your work around is needed if you want to send json

Thanks for the information.
