To support Web Sockets implementation, we'll need raw stream socket (and proxy
support and TLS/SSL socket) back-end. Web Sockets uses similar request/response
message with HTTP, but it is more strict than HTTP and not so difficult to
implement it on top of raw socket.  I think it would be not so easy to use
existing HTTP back-ends for Web Sockets, because existing HTTP back-ends would
do a lot of things than Web Sockets spec says and would not allow for the the
control that required for Web Sockets frame handling.
I'm implementing Web Sockets on WebKit/Gtk with using g_io_channel functions,
although I'm not addressed on proxy, TLS/SSL, authentication and cookies in Web
Sockets.
