Howdy Rodger While Chrome has HyBi version 8 websocket support and from what your saying Firefox 7 has version 8, the actual version number in play for HyBi is at something like version 15 last I checked (oops just checked again we are up to version 17). By the end of this message it may change again :) Versions 14,15,16, and 17 were all released in just the last month (Sep 2011).
Luckily , most of the changes between version 8 and now don't mean much to the average implementation. My favorite feature since around version 7 is the version negotiation feature as it along with a little header sniffing in the handshake would allow a single socket server to concurrently support probably all the websocket versions. Of course supporting those versions prior to data masking is something I would discourage. In implementing the HyBi support in the AsterClick project (HyBi version 15) the server code was re-factored exactly for the purpose of concurrently supporting the entire range of websocket protocols as well as non-websocket protocols while allowing us to address newer protocol versions without having to break older ones. Most of the changes to the websocket spec for the last several versions have to do with features most folks will never use, although I guess I need to go read through the last two iterations (16 and 17) of the spec to see what Santa Clause left me. :) --Doc On 10/01/2011 09:39 AM, Roger F.
