What is the state of websockets in PhoneGap for iOS?

Question

I'm trying to figure out what I need to do, if anything, to make socket.io work with my phonegap app. Thanks for any information, new to phonegap.

Have you added the URLs you wish to communicate with to Phonegap's whitelist (in the plist file?) — Ben Clayton, May 25 '12 at 07:28

Looks like you might need a plugin to do this.

This stackoverflow answer might help you: Socket.io + PhoneGap

Or you could jump straight to this blog entry which describes how to use the plugin:

Problem appears to be that phonegap makes socket requests from file:// rather than http://
