Socket.io, https, and express continuous connect/disconnect loop

[m1sta]

I'm trying to use socket.io, express, and https together on node. When socket.io connects it immediatley disconnects, re-connects again and loops. The problem can be re-created using the following code...

Server

var app = express();
var server = https.createServer(sslOptions, app)
var io = require('socket.io').listen(server);
app.use(express.static('./public'));
server.listen(port, function(){});

Client

<script type="text/javascript" src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
    var socket = io.connect('https://testdomain.com', { secure: true });
</script>

Error

I've noticed that when using https line 509 of hybi-16.js (Parser.prototype.processPacket) get's hit immediately after connection with the data parameter set to 129. This is where the error is thrown. With http, this line is doesn't appear to be hit until the first heartbeat, at which time the data parameter is set to 71 and all works fine.

Fixed by uninstalling Node v0.10.9 and installing v0.10.10.
