HTML5 WebSockets

[Eric Wong]

Hi all,

The Revactor/ThreadSpawn/ThreadPool concurrency models *should* already
support HTML5 WebSockets out-of-the-box right now with the respective
TeeInput (streaming "rack.input" support).  You'll probably want to make
sure the Rack::Chunked middleware is loaded for anything you run, but
other than that everything should work provided you have a working
client-side implementation...

I'm terrible at doing anything interactive on web browsers[1] and I
don't think any current browsers out there support WebSockets natively,
but there are ways to mimic it with JS libraries it seems.

If anybody can code anything up and put up a demo, that would be great.


I'll get around to adding a Fiber-based concurrency model which should
work with TeeInput, too.

[1] - guess why the bug tracker for this project is a mailing list :)
