Is this a nodejs library? How to use it in nodejs? npm install ?

Issue #73 is pointing out that it assumes browser environment. Could this represent a problem when using the library in a server-side app?

How should the library be used as a node module? I tried the following without success:

Installer from npm npm install --save reconnectingwebsocket

var ReconnectingWebSocket = require('reconnectingwebsocket');
ws = new ReconnectingWebSocket("ws://192.168.60.80/PSIA/Metadata/stream?AreaControlEvents=true");

The returned error message:

C:\projets\ws\app2.js:9
 ws = new ReconnectingWebSocket("ws://192.168.60.80/PSIA/Metadata/stream?AreaControlEvents=true");
       ^

This package is for the browser's implementation of WebSocket. Use the ws package for a node.js client WebSocket implementation.
