chrome extenstion background - socket.io connect to https instead of http

0

I'm using Socket.io for Google Chrome extension in background to connect to a http socket server. But whatever I put into the code, the socket.io always try to connect to https instead of http. How can I force socket client to always connect over http?

I'm calling the function from a context page on a https page, is that the problem?

socket = io.connect( 'http://192.168.1.2:5000/?id=10&token=abjnhikn==' , {secure: false} );

socket.connect();

javascript node.js google-chrome-extension socket.io chrome-extension-async

Chrome does not seem to allow connections that are not secure, I think you have the same question as this one: WebSocket connection fails on Chrome without SSL
