Hello,

I have just now pushed `happstack-websockets` to git:

https://github.com/Happstack/happstack-websockets

It is mostly a thin wrapper around the `websockets` library. I will upload it to hackage once I have had time to test it a bit more and add documentation.

Now would be the ideal time to request changes to the API since it is not yet uploaded to hackage.

I have successfully used it in small tests with plain old javascript and with the WebSockets support in ghcjs-base. However, I also discovered a bug in ghcjs-base websockets in the process:

https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs-base/issues/60

So you'll have to stick to text communication at the moment if you want to use ghcjs -- or patch your ghcjs-base.
