[jira] Commented: (HTTPCLIENT-973) Websocket support

["John A. Tamplin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-973?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12932494#action_12932494 ] 

John A. Tamplin commented on HTTPCLIENT-973:
--------------------------------------------

I would be interested in working on it.  I have been implementing various drafts of the spec at http://code.google.com/p/websocket-draft-eval/ and I would be interested in turning that into a real implementation and finding a home for it where it could be shared.

If that would be of interest to you, I would need some assistance regarding the design of how it would integrate with the rest of HttpClient.

> Websocket are designed for browser use but I see useful use cases in a java client as well:
> - java clients for existing websites where changes are pushed to clients using websockets
> - use of websockets to tunnel through firewalls
> - put all communication behind single port on servlet engine.
> A good example on emerging use is websocket+stomp (http://jmesnil.net/stomp-websocket/doc/, http://www.nighttale.net/activemq/activemq-54-stomp-over-web-sockets.html)
> so I believe hc should support websocket clients.
