Module Description

The WebSockets module provides full featured WebSockets Server, which implements the server part of RFC 6455.

The WebSockets Protocol upgrades the HTTP Protocol in order to fix the HTTP request/response based communication issues by introducing real bidirectional communication. It also benefits from the existing infrastructure of the HTTP protocol like proxies, intermediaries, filtering, authentication, etc.
