Hi

I'm trying to connect to a [socket.io](http://socket.io) server with a token

```auto
async function connectToSocket(token){
    var socket = require('socket.io-client')(`https://kong.tls.ai/bt/api/socket.io/?token=${token}`)
        socket.on('connect',onConnect)

```

I have tried to find a node that supports this, but I can't find any that supports authentication.

Has anyone solved this? Or do I have to learn javascript to make it?
