Some implementation notes:

 

2

 

 

3

There is an included flash object (web-socket-js) that is used to

 

4

emulate websocket support on browsers without websocket support

 

5

(currently only Chrome has WebSocket support).

 

6

 

 

7

Javascript doesn't have a bytearray type, so what you get out of

 

8

a WebSocket object is just Javascript strings.  Javascript has UTF-16

 

9

unicode strings and anything sent through the WebSocket gets converted

 

10

to UTF-8 and vice-versa. So, one additional (and necessary) function

 

11

of wsproxy is base64 encoding/decoding what is sent to/from the

 

12

browser.

Building web-socket-js emulator:

16

cd include/web-socket-js/flash-src
