wss support

[John Smith]

Hi.
Is there secure websocket protocol available in zerogw?
while "new WebSocket('ws://127.0.0.1:8000/ws')" works, the same address with 'wss' prefix fails, there is no 'connect' event on server side.
I am using Chromium 20 as client.

Hi John,

It's not supported at the moment.

It will be implemented at some point in the future, but no ETA yet.
Pull requests are welcome.

Do you have a fully https application, or is there any other reason
you need 'wss' ?

Thanks for statistics. It seems to be a very good reason to start
hacking SSL this Christmas :)

It's not clear why https (xhr-polling) works better for iOS than http.
Any thoughts?

Note also that if you use SSL termination software or hardware, you
don't need any support in zerogw.
