<b>Problem</b>
<br>I expect each time I click "hello" button, a server console displays "receive:hello".
<br>First click is OK. But from the second time, a console doesn't display.
<br>This problem can only be seen on IE6 with transport "htmlfile".
<br>Pull request is<a href="https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io-client/pull/459">here</a>

I found this on a following environment.

    <li>browser: IE6
    <li>node: 0.8.6
    <li>socket.io: 0.9.10
