Socket.IO is an API for WebSockets and most of Websocket libraries are supporting it.

I am pretty happy with this most contributed Arduino WebSocket library and it also supports Socket.IO. Here is your Socket.IO example.

Here is a heartbeat message type of socket.io implementaiton from the example:

if((now - heartbeatTimestamp) > HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL) {
    heartbeatTimestamp = now;
    // socket.io heartbeat message
    webSocket.sendTXT("2");
}
