Thanks for this Chris, Have yet to try out pd-ws but it might be a bit
simpler for me to plug in place of Nicolas' websockets
for my browser interface to xensynth
It is basically the same but with no binary dependencies, and it only
supports one active websocket at a time.

Lovely!
xensynthcontrol.html is just a bunch of high level stuff that was
easier to do with html javascript than patching up in pd ,
Yes, I understand. This is exactly the reason for pd-ws.
JAVA applets were the only cross
platform solution to sockets from browser to pd
as far as I knew. Will websockets last as long as JAVA applets did?

Java, like Flash, always felt like it was crowbarred into the browser.
My hunch is that websockets will be around for a long time. They have
wide support across all browsers and the people who maintain the browser
code wrote the websocket code, unlike Java & Flash.
If xensynthcontrol.html is built only for your personal use you could
also look at browser extensions. I believe it's possible to open native
socket connections (directly to e.g. [netreceive]) if your Javascript
code is running as an extension/add-on.
Cheers,
Chris.
