Middleware error not catches

I might be making a mistake, but I cannot manage to catch middleware error on client, here is server code:

(function () {
    'use strict';

    var url = require("url"),
        sio = require('socket.io')(3010);

    //Authentification required
    sio.use(function (socket, next) {
        return next(new Error('refused client'));
    });
}());

and client code:

(function () {
    "use strict";

    //Network
    var socket = io.connect(SOCKET_IO_SERVER);

    socket.on('error', function(){
        console.error(arguments);
    });
}());

So is it a bug ?

EDIT: Using network tab on chrome I do see a polling request containing “refused client”

I have the same issue when using namespaces. @oliveiragabriel07 solution worked for me as well but I think the client should be able to receive an error thrown in the general connection middelware ( io.use ) I guess this is a socket.io server issue

[oliveiragabriel07]

+1 Error callback is not beeing called on client side when Error is passed as parameter to next on middleware.

Edit

I found that when using namespaces, the middleware should be attached to the namespace:

var nsp = io.of('/namespace');

// client never receives the error event
io.use(function (socket, next) {
    return next(new Error('refused client')); 
});

// this way works
nsp.use(function (socket, next) {
    return next(new Error('refused client')); 
});
