What other platforms/versions need WebSocket support? There's a tiny bit
of info available here:
http://caniuse.com/websockets
Interesting that iOS 4.1 doesn't support WebSocket, as that's the last
version you can upgrade a 2nd gen iPodTouch to, for instance. It won't be
able to make use of a Java version of WebSocket, obviously.
I'm wondering about another possibility, instead of using a Java version -
using a JavaScript version - say from socket.io (client):
https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io-client
The idea would be that we have a "portable" version of the API, which ends
up calling into native socket code to push and pull bytes over the network.
That way, the work in "porting" to a platform just involves making sure
there's a native "socket" API for the platform.
