Detailed Description

Server-side implementation of the WebSocket protocol.

`WebSockets <http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/>`_ allow for bidirectional
communication between the browser and server.

.. warning::

   The WebSocket protocol was recently finalized as `RFC 6455
   <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455>`_ and is not yet supported in
   all browsers.  Refer to http://caniuse.com/websockets for details
   on compatibility.  In addition, during development the protocol
   went through several incompatible versions, and some browsers only
   support older versions.  By default this module only supports the
   latest version of the protocol, but optional support for an older
   version (known as "draft 76" or "hixie-76") can be enabled by
   overriding `WebSocketHandler.allow_draft76` (see that method's
   documentation for caveats).
