Here's an introductory article from Opera:
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/introducing-web-sockets/
MY UPDATE: I've been developing a WebSocket server using CHROME dev. 15 (now)
because it supports the latest version of the standard. A little confusing,
it's hybi-10, also known as version 8. I've received header information from
OPERA, but they use hybi-76. Not sure which version that matches. Version 6, I
think. As I mentioned earlier, I did the coding for hybi-76 and will probably
integrate that when I have some other things done, or in response to heavy
serious demand - if there's interest. Or won't do it at all if Opera announces
a not-to-distant release date for support of the updated standard.
Just got FIREFOX communicating. It uses hybi-8 or something, which may be known
as version 7 I think, which is not different from 8. Or it's hybi-8, known also
as version 8, because there weren't any significant technical changes to the
standard after that. Anyway, I had to modify the javascript to use MozWebSocket
rather than WebSocket. I understand this is temporary. MozWebSocket will be
changed to just WebSocket as per the standard, whenever they feel they've fully
and properly implemented the final version. So, no one will ever need the junky
which browser check to run websockets. For now:
var appType;
if (typeof MozWebSocket !== "undefined") {
appType = "Mozilla";
} else if (window.WebSocket) {
appType = "Chrome";
} else {
showResults('<strong style="color: red;">ERROR: This browser does not
support WebSockets.</strong>'); // my own JavaScript method.
return;
}
if (appType == "Mozilla") {
websocket = new MozWebSocket(document.getElementById('wsURI').value);
} else {
websocket = new WebSocket(document.getElementById('wsURI').value);
}
