Connect to server without query parameters

[vbaptistella]

I am currently working on a project that is already in production using socket.io, and it needs to migrate to a gateway that blocks any type of query string and rejects the connection.

I could only find information about adding more parameters on the docs, but is there a way to make socket.io work without (or remove) the default query parameters (EIO, transport and t)?

No, there is currently no way to do this.

That's... interesting. Why is that?

[vbaptistella]

It's a corporate gateway that the company I work at decided to use, and they won't allow query strings due to security concerns (according to them, allowing query strings make the server susceptible to DDoS)

I also have the same issue here
@darrachequesne can you please tell the reason why this isn't possible?

We have same issue. The Kubernetes API Proxy strips all query parameters from WebSockets requests: kubernetes/kubernetes#77142
