Changing query parameter issue

Problem

I am hoping I can get some direction on this. Initializing the io with io(url,opts) works with the query parameter. If that query parameter needs to change you can dot into the sio.io.opts object. However, after it is changed that way, it is not able to be changed again. Iteration 0 - Works On Initialization <code> socket = io(options.socket,{query: {_accessToken: 'cow'} }); </code> Server's socket.request._query._accessToken returns 'cow' Iteration 1 -Works When changed the first time <code> socket.io.opts.query._accessToken = 'moo'; </code> Server's socket.request._query._accessToken returns 'moo' Iteration 2 - Doesn't work anymore <code> socket.io.opts.query._accessToken = 'twomoos'; </code> Server's socket.request._query._accessToken returns 'moo'' Although it seems to change on the client side, the server still returns the value of the access token in Iteration 1. Doing some digging, I found that the <code> socket.io.engine.transport.ws </code> contains the URL for the request, but keeps the _accessToken as the iteration 1 variable. <code> ws://192.168.1.8/socket.io/?_accessToken=moo&transport=websocket&sid=mY9rC4km7ASypgDTAAAI </code> I can't change the variable using javascript because it still stays the same. That also seems rather hacky and I'd like to not do that. I haven't put in an issue request for anything, so I hope this counts as a legitimate one.
