There's a Raw Sockets proposal at the W3C that provides TCP sockets:

Well, "wally" is just a demo application, a command line client to
prove a technology.
The main development is in places like "node-libcoin", w

Oh, I forgot to make it clear - Chrome apps/extensions can make raw TCP
socket connections:

You would do it as a packaged app:

Code that runs inside NativeClient has the same access level as JavaScript
does. It's just a way to do things faster.
Distribution as a Chrome app via the Chrome store is a fine approach, as

question you're asking is, can it be done in a web app? I think the answer
is I think "no" because web apps aren't allowed to make raw TCP socket

Now there may be a way around that by using browser-specific things lik
