Question - Support xhr-polling?

[mbilbille]

It is not the purpose of this benchmark tool but did you ever try to make it work with other transports like xhr-polling?

websocket-bench support other transports only for primus.io ans faye, do not hesitate to contact me question if you have any question.

And so, is it your plan to support others transports for socket.io as well?
I quickly tried to alter socketioworker.js on my own, to force the connection in xhr-polling but I got weird results ; it stop connecting after few connections.

Same kind of problem mentioned here: http://blog.mixu.net/2011/11/22/performance-benchmarking-socket-io-0-8-7-0-7-11-and-0-6-17-and-nodes-native-tcp/
3) A polling transport that works on Node.js

It could be interesting to add transports option compatible with socket.io. It seems there are strange issues with socket.io and this tools.
I am going to search a good solution for this.
