A couple guys got a websocket-over-flash implementation working, which should work in any browser that supports flash. I don't know what the status of that is though. If there's still no movement on that, I might take a look at patching in their changes myself in a couple weeks.
At the moment, websockets are only supported in Firefox 4, Chrome and Safari. Last I checked, IE9 might not ship with websocket support. -J On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 11:56 PM, Alex North <[email protected]> wrote: > Google Wave does not use websockets, correct.
