How to reverse proxy a Socket.io app with Nginx?

I want to reverse proxy the official Socket.io chat demo with Nginx. So, this is the server file:// Setup basic express server var express = require('express'); var app = express(); var server = require('http').createServer(app); var io = require('../..')(server); var port = process.env.PORT || 3000; server.listen(port, function () { console.log('Server listening at port %d', port); }); // Routing app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public')); // Chatroom var numUsers = 0; io.on('connection', function (socket) { var addedUser = false; // when the client emits 'new message', this listens and executes socket.on('new message', function (data) { // we tell the client to execute 'new message' socket.broadcast.emit('new message', { username: socket.username, message: data }); }); // when the client emits 'add user', this listens and executes socket.on('add user', function (username) { if (addedUser) return; // we store the username in the socket session for this client socket.username = username; ++numUsers; addedUser = true; socket.emit('login', { numUsers: numUsers }); // echo globally (all clients) that a person has connected socket.broadcast.emit('user joined', { username: socket.username, numUsers: numUsers }); }); // when the client emits 'typing', we broadcast it to others socket.on('typing', function () { socket.broadcast.emit('typing', { username: socket.username }); }); // when the client emits 'stop typing', we broadcast it to others socket.on('stop typing', function () { socket.broadcast.emit('stop typing', { username: socket.username }); }); // when the user disconnects.. perform this socket.on('disconnect', function () { if (addedUser) { --numUsers; // echo globally that this client has left socket.broadcast.emit('user left', { username: socket.username, numUsers: numUsers }); } }); }); and this is the client side code:$(function() { var FADE_TIME = 150; // ms var TYPING_TIMER_LENGTH = 400; // ms var COLORS = [ '#e21400', '#91580f', '#f8a700', '#f78b00', '#58dc00', '#287b00', '#a8f07a', '#4ae8c4', '#3b88eb', '#3824aa', '#a700ff', '#d300e7' ]; // Initialize variables var $window = $(window); var $usernameInput = $('.usernameInput'); // Input for username var $messages = $('.messages'); // Messages area var $inputMessage = $('.inputMessage'); // Input message input box var $loginPage = $('.login.page'); // The login page var $chatPage = $('.chat.page'); // The chatroom page // Prompt for setting a username var username; var connected = false; var typing = false; var lastTypingTime; var $currentInput = $usernameInput.focus(); var socket = io(); function addParticipantsMessage (data) { var message = ''; if (data.numUsers === 1) { message += "there's 1 participant"; } else { message += "there are " + data.numUsers + " participants"; } log(message); } // Sets the client's username function setUsername () { username = cleanInput($usernameInput.val().trim()); // If the username is valid if (username) { $loginPage.fadeOut(); $chatPage.show(); $loginPage.off('click'); $currentInput = $inputMessage.focus(); // Tell the server your username socket.emit('add user', username); } } // Sends a chat message function sendMessage () { var message = $inputMessage.val(); // Prevent markup from being injected into the message message = cleanInput(message); // if there is a non-empty message and a socket connection if (message && connected) { $inputMessage.val(''); addChatMessage({ username: username, message: message }); // tell server to execute 'new message' and send along one parameter socket.emit('new message', message); } } // Log a message function log (message, options) { var $el = $('

• ').addClass('log').text(message); addMessageElement($el, options); } // Adds the visual chat message to the message list function addChatMessage (data, options) { // Don't fade the message in if there is an 'X was typing' var $typingMessages = getTypingMessages(data); options = options || {}; if ($typingMessages.length !== 0) { options.fade = false; $typingMessages.remove(); } var $usernameDiv = $('') .text(data.username) .css('color', getUsernameColor(data.username)); var $messageBodyDiv = $('') .text(data.message); var typingClass = data.typing ?
