Subsequent new connections to previously closed namespaces results in new connections

[Germajex]

This issue is related to this issue in socket.io-client

basically after calling socket.disconnect() from a namespace socket, trying to connect again to the same namespace will not use multiplexing.

from the Issue discussion it seems that this won't be fixed soon, but in the discussion a very easy workaround is suggested in this comment

I just wanted to report it here too because I think the intention of this library is to not use multiple sockets without reason
