just to check that there is no problem in the formats, the following does send a ljulia-protobuf formatted message to the html-client but somewhat indirectly....
msg = read(client) iob = PipeBuffer(); write(iob,msg) test = readproto(iob,com()) println("got MESSAGE: $test.id") #i.e. works! writeproto(iob,com(id=[1],val=[0.2])) msg=read(iob) write(client,msg) #the new value turns up at the client, so no issues with the formatting, just to get the web socket to talk via readproto and writeproto
