The WebSocket Protocol enables two-way communication between a client running untrusted code in a controlled environment to a remote host that has opted-in to communications from that code. The protocol consists of an opening handshake followed by basic message framing, layered over TCP.The goal of this technology is to provide a mechanism for browser-based applications needing two-way communication with servers without relying on opening multiple HTTP connections.
