Connecting to meteor server using ROOT_URL

[lpanger]

I have a local meteor instance running with the ROOT_URL set to http://localhost:3000/admin/. I can't seem to figure out the correct settings the DDP client should be set for this to work. Everything works when I remove the ROOT_URL environment variable.

var ddpClient = new DDP({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 3000,
  //url: 'wss://localhost:3000/admin/websocket',
  //useSockJs: true,
  //ddpVersion: '1'
});

ddpClient.connect(function(error, wasReconnect) {
  if (error) {
    console.log('DDP connection error!');
    return;
  }

  console.log('connected!');
})

The commented out properties are different things I've tried without any success. What am I missing here? Note that I will be using the cluster package in the future so SockJS is required.

Per the example in the README:

  // uses the SockJs protocol to create the connection
  // this still uses websockets, but allows to get the benefits
  // from projects like meteorhacks:cluster
  // (for load balancing and service discovery)
  // do not use `path` option when you are using useSockJs
  useSockJs: true,
  // Use a full url instead of a set of `host`, `port` and `ssl`
  // do not set `useSockJs` option if `url` is used
  url: 'wss://example.com/websocket'

It seems that using SocksJS is not compatible with specifying a custom ROOT_URL. I'm not sure if that is a limitation of node-ddp-client or SocksJS. If it turns out to be the former, I would be happy to merge a PR forthis package that fixes the issue.
