I understand that the websocket client is *co-located* within the webbrowser client, but it's a different entity. Nothing prevents it in using a different DNS mechanism. Honestly I'm not reading good arguments against DNS SRV for WebSocket protocol. Perhaps the topic about the HTTP proxies, but there should be some way to deal with it without forcing WebSocket to inherit all the limitations and poor capabilities of HTTP (when referring to scalability and failover). -- Iñaki Baz Castillo <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
