It sounds like your websocket APIs were a bit confusing to use, which is unfortunate. Websockets are plain ol TCP connections over port 80 (AFAIK) with a special handshake and some multiplexing to share the port with other requests!

This makes it non-trivial from a TCP standpoint, but hopefully better APIs come about that make using it easier. I would also assume that the very web-server would have to be upgraded to embody this type of functionality.

It seems I was right... Here's a page on Apache.org talking about a module offering web-socket support in their server:
http://activemq.apache.org/websockets.html

Web sockets are a very novel technology, with some pretty major implications to client-server communication. Like all new technologies they will be a bit awkward to use at first, but once you are comfortable with the tools, they will be an extension of your tool set.
I was looking at the answer here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4...l-5-websockets

I tried with Socket IO-Node, jWebSocket, websockify, wsproxy and netty.

None of them ended up working for me, so no idea what the problem was.
Oh well, another problem for another thread.
