Hi all. Sorry for dragging this subject again, but here we go.
A couple of things got me thinking about the WebSocket implementation:
1. Almost (if not all) web browser network interactions (HTTP, FTP
(limited), file) are created by QNetworkAccessManager - which also
provides proxy configuration, etc etc;
2. I believe that a websocket client would be directly attached to this
network behaviour; it makes no sense to have a "headless" websocket in
Qt - why not use a conventional socket? I think it might be useful, but
just in some special cases. Other thing is: as I was looking into webkit
source code, it already has a websocket client implementation. That
brings another question: why is it there, after all? Why not in the
network core?
3. About the websocket server: it is, in fact, a new implementation for Qt.
I'm not trying to be a pain in the a**, just the devil's advocate,
random thoughts on the direction this intend to go.
Best regards,
Richard.

Hi,
I opensourced a Qt based module that implements the web socket protocol. The
repository can be found here: https://github.com/KurtPattyn/QWebSockets.
I have 2 questions:
1. Is there any interest in adding this to Qt?
+1 I'm very interested. I'm interested using WebSocket in QML/JS in
combination with NodeJs. I can see a great potential there.
Another Qt WebSocket implementation
(https://github.com/vinipsmaker/tufao) with an HTTP Server.
/ juergen
2. If so, should this be added to QtNetwork or is a add-on preferred?
Best regards,
Kurt Pattyn
