Implementing WebSockets

Websockets is the websocket protocal for the server and the API for the client. Usually the server is a webserver and the client a web browser. 

Chrome 10.0.648.204 will send the following headers for a websocket connection request:

http://localhost:8080/ws_c.html

var connection = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:9999/');

Chrome:

GET / HTTP/1.1
