CLAs look good, thanks!

@creat-or any additional changes required for this to be merged and released?

Yeah, it has no sense that I approved it, since I have no write privileges on this repository. I just can't wait that this will be merged ;)

Could somebody please review and merge that fix? It's really small and has a lot of impact ;)

The issue why this was not updated before is that there were breaking changes in socket.io before regarding ie7. Does someone have insight into the state of this?

Do you mean this one? socketio/socket.io-client#1099 ... doesn't seem like much activity on this side.

@creat-or I was experiencing #2593 which has been resolved by bumping Socket.io to 1.7.4.

Alright I'll take a look at merging things later tonight

Can we have minor version release with this fixed? I believe a lot of people are having this issue and it would be great to have this fixed in npm instead of patching it manually.

I'd also like a minor release with this. I can patch my dev environment, but my Travis karma tests have been failing and probably will continue to until I can ref a release with this fix.
