Request for Native Websocket which is supported on HTTP socket

[d3x0r]

there are 5 websock libraries

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16392260/which-websocket-library-to-use-with-node-js

If you have event base sockets and handling already, websocket itself isn't a lot to implement

https://github.com/d3x0r/SACK/blob/master/src/netlib/html5.websocket/client/html5.websocket.client.c
https://github.com/d3x0r/SACK/blob/master/src/netlib/html5.websocket/server/html5.websocket.c
https://github.com/d3x0r/SACK/blob/master/src/netlib/html5.websocket/html5.websocket.common.c
(some structures defined in .h files nearby)

Maybe that one can get a websock object from the HTTP?
Or maybe I'm msising something and the HTTP connection has a mode it goes into to support length-data transmissions bi-directionally?

That's all websock is once it negotiates is a UTF-8 -esqe encoding of lengths... most implementations didn't go over 16k fragments.

I'm not sure I understand what exactly you're asking for. Are you asking for websockets in core or something else?

[d3x0r]

Basically; and supplying a reference that addressed all 3 versions... it's much less complex if you don't have to handle the HTTP stuff. (which that does too)

if I have an HTTP socket request on the server I'd like to define like on( "upgrade", (protocol)=>{ is protocol == ;'websocket' ) or something and then be able to or already have on( "message" )

On the other side that made the request, they can keep the HTTP object open and do a http.upgrade( 'websocket' ) and define the appropriate websock methods on that object? Or maybe return a separate websocket object from that.... which can then have message/close/error handlers.

I don't know if the methods get overwritten between HTTP and websock (MDN, Opera, IE, Chrome) all supported it, so I sort of expect it in a core library; it's not a horibble standard, it's masked but only by option, and if it were a semi-native implmeentation with HTTP it might have an easier time dealing with the bytecode length and fragments and other bits ...

In that case, this has been discussed before. See #1010 for example.
