Erik Martino Hansen updated HTTPCLIENT-973:
-------------------------------------------

    Description: 
Websocket are designed for browser use but I see useful use cases in a java 
client as well:

- java clients for existing websites where changes are pushed to clients using 
websockets
- use of websockets to tunnel through firewalls
- put all communication behind single port on servlet engine.

A good example on emerging use is websocket+stomp 
(http://jmesnil.net/stomp-websocket/doc/, 
http://www.nighttale.net/activemq/activemq-54-stomp-over-web-sockets.html)

so I believe hc should support websocket clients.
