Hi John
I am far from being a fan of (mis)using of NIO just for the heck of it, but in
case of the WebSocket protocol I think that a non-blocking I/O model would make
good sense. So, you should start off by taking a look at HttpCore NIO to get a
feel for developing asynchronous services based on HttpCore [1]. There is also
an asynchronous version of HttpClient at a very early (pre-alpha) stage of
development that you might find useful, as it has an implementation of a
pooling connection manager for non-blocking HTTP connections [2]
Cheers
Oleg

> Websocket support

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-973

> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HttpClient
> Reporter: Erik Martino Hansen
> Fix For: Future

>
> 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.
