app.io.enable('browser client gzip') causes an error

[thomaswhite]

Win 7, Node 0.10.5 app.io.enable('browser client gzip') causes the following error:

events.js:72 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: This socket is closed. at Socket._write (net.js:618:19) at doWrite (_stream_writable.js:211:10) at writeOrBuffer (_stream_writable.js:201:5) at Socket.Writable.write (_stream_writable.js:172:11) at Socket.write (net.js:596:40) at Socket.Writable.end (_stream_writable.js:325:10) at Socket.end (net.js:395:31) at Static.gzip (D:\2013\github\links.to\node_modules\socket.io\lib\static.js:207:14) at ready (D:\2013\github\links.to\node_modules\socket.io\lib\static.js:370:14) at D:\2013\github\links.to\node_modules\socket.io\lib\static.js:103:9

Process finished with exit code 8.

It is even more interesting that I checkout my code on another Win 7 and it is working fine there. Any ideas?

Did you find a solution? I have exactly the same problem :)

try in win 7 (in both) from cmd run "gzip". i think in "broken" win 7 gzip will be not found. but in working win 7 gzip will found. Solution:

1. you can fix socket.io https://github.com/fengmk2/socket.io/commit/8048ff489178958dc0cc76fc66fa7cfefea9b6cd
2. install gzip and put win PATH to him.
