socketio not working on alpine

Running Alpine+Nodejs+Socketio. We are able to connect to the socketio server on port 8080 via a ROR app, but any iOS or Android apps on port 8080 fail handshake. We assume the issue is that alpine will not let direct connections to /socketio (reverse proxy, proxy_pass, or no headers passed).

Is there a way to set Alpine to use less security or to allow * connections to socketio?
