ANN: BLIP over WebSocket

[Jens Alfke]

I’ve got two preliminary implementations (in Objective-C and Go) of BLIP running over WebSockets. It replaces the BLIP framing layer with the WebSocket protocol, so it’s not compatible with regular BLIP, but it has some advantages, such as WebSockets’ ease of tunneling through HTTP proxies. This protocol could also be implemented in JavaScript for use in client-side web scripts.

Here’s some documentation, with links to the code.
