WebSocket upcoming protocol update: HyBi 8 to HyBi 16

[Takeshi Yoshino]

Hi Chromium users,

We're going to update WebSocket protocol in Chromium to the latest version for Chrome 16 release. Essential change is very small as follows but incompatible with old one. Please update your servers to support it.

- Origin header name: Sec-WebSocket-Origin -> Origin

- Sec-WebSocket-Version header value: 8 -> 13

Please see the spec for detail.

Using this opportunity, I'd like to give you one more heads up about send() method.

Not to break existing scripts, send() method is returning true but is now void in the API spec. At some point we'll change the return type of send() to void. Please make sure that your script doesn't rely on the return value of send() method but catches failures by setting up onclose properly.

Please see the spec for detail.

Thanks,

Takeshi
