trouble moving socketio server from localhost to ssl nginx - ssl

Question

Some of the stesp I have taken include
modifying nginx setup
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
server {
server_name services.parleyvale.com;
...
location /s2gio/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3222;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}...
but network tab gave me 404's so on my client (react) app added
modifying client
//var socket = io.connect(cfg.urls.socket)
var socket = io.connect(cfg.urls.socket,{
secure: true,
rejectUnauthorized: false,
path: '/s2gio/socket.io'
});
slightly better but the server was not responding so on the server added
modifying server
//const io = require('socket.io')(server)
const io = require('socket.io')(server,
{
secure: true,
rejectUnauthorized: false,
path: '/s2gio/socket.io'
});
io.of('/s2gio')
now the messages from client show up on server but they do not 'emit' from the server.
comparing the ssl nginx debug file
2020-03-12T19:12:36.309Z socket.io:socket emitting event ["message",{"lid":"Jutebi","product":"Avacado","done":1,"jsod":"","loc":"produce"}]
2020-03-12T19:12:36.309Z socket.io:socket dispatching an event ["message",{"lid":"Jutebi","product":"Avacado","done":1,"jsod":"","loc":"produce"}]
that's all I get before they both go back to writing 2's and 3's. But localhost does encodes, encoding, writing and sending

qry.sql: INSERT INTO items SET `lid` = 'Jutebi', `product` = 'Red potatoes', `done` = 0, `jsod` = '', `loc` = 'dairy' ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE `lid` = 'Jutebi', `product` = 'Red potatoes', `done` = 0, `jsod` = '', `loc` = 'dairy'
the server is pretty simple
const io = require('socket.io')(server);
io.on('connect', (socket) => {
io.emit('message', 'connected io')
socket.on('switch2room', (room)=>{
console.log('swwwwww')
console.log('switch2room: ', room)
socket.leaveAll()
socket.join(room, ()=>{
console.log('subscribe ', socket.rooms);
io.in(room).emit('message', `inside ${room} party people?`)
})
})
socket.on('message', (message)=>{
console.log('message: ', message)
io.in('/s2gio/'+message.lid).emit('message',message)
if(message.done==-1){
const qry=conn.query('DELETE FROM items WHERE lid=? AND product=?',[message.lid,message.product],()=>{
console.log('qry.sql: ', qry.sql)
})
}else{
const qry = conn.query('INSERT INTO items SET ? ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ?', [message,message], (error,results)=>{
console.log('qry.sql: ', qry.sql)
})
}
})
});
server.listen(cfg.port.socket);
console.log('wss listening on '+cfg.port.socket);
I also tried adding 'namespace' in emit on the server
io.on('connect', (socket) => {
io.emit('message', '/s2gio/connected io')
...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
