Native MQTT support for browsers?

[Nicholas Humfrey]

Hello,

As anyone looked at adding native MQTT protocol support to a web browser?

I guess the biggest problem is the permissions model / security sandbox- connecting to the same host might not be that useful.

I have been thinking about using a headless browser as a runtime environment for running JavaScript application within...

Related to this I have just seen there is a COAP plugin for Firefox that registers the coap:// URI scheme and protocol:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/copper-270430/

But I guess COAP fits a lot more closely with HTTP in a browser environment.

Would probably only make sense to use MQTT protocol from JavaScript?

I'm not clear what the benefit would be over existing JS / WebSockets / MQTT apps that work just fine.

Node.js is basically a "headless browser" for javascript and there are several node.js mqtt client and broker implementations you can use.
