[Plugin] Socket.io Client

Hello. I’m new to this wonderful plugin, so I’d like to know if it’s suitable for my needs.
I have two apps (one UE4/HTML5 and the other written in WebGL) on my webserver and I want them to communicate. I don’t think they can communicate directly, (correct me if I’m wrong), but they can indirectly by a common interface.
As far as I understood, my idea is to run a NodeJs server as the one provided in the example Chat project, with the feature to act as a bridge between the two apps.
Every time one app sends a message to this server, it automatically send it to the other app, and viceversa.
My questions:

  • is it possible to do that with this plugin?
  • if yes, is this considered a good solution of does exists even a better solution?

Thank you.
