CORS not working with hapijs and socket.io

Question

so i have a server set up using hapi js and socket.io

var hapi = require('hapi');
var server = new hapi.Server();
server.connection({
    host : 'localhost',
    port: 3000,
    routes: {cors: true}
});
var io = require("socket.io")(server.listener);

on the client

var io = socket.connect(':3000');

when i access from localhost everything works fine, but when i access from the external IP i get the CORS error and can't make it work, on the server i've tried io.set( "origins", "*:*" ); didn't work, and io.set('transports', ['websocket', 'xhr-polling', 'jsonp-polling', 'htmlfile', 'flashsocket']); also didn't work and throws a bad request error on the browser. am i missing something? thanks you very much for your time.

Can you try setting the origin explicitly instead of using "*"? You probably don't want to use "*" in production anyway.

Try using:

server.connection({
  host : 'localhost',
  port: 3000,
  routes: {
    cors: {
      origin: ['your_origin_here']
    }
  }
});

Also sometimes there is an OPTIONS preflighted request made to check the origin, maybe share that as well to make sure CORS is being set properly?

so the problem was setting the host to localhost, instead i used 0.0.0.0 as explained here
