- websocket \- tunnel 9P over WebSocket
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B websocket
- .I "magic parameters" ...
- .PP
- .B
- new WebSocket("http://server.example/magic/websocket", "9p");
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .I Websocket
- is an
- .IR httpd (8)
- .I magic
- program that tunnels a 9P connection over a WebSocket, allowing
- JavaScript programs in a web browser to interact with Plan 9 services.
- .PP
- Currently, it always mounts the connection over
- .B /dev/
- and launches
- .IR acme ,
- which expects the
- .B /dev/draw
- provided by
- .IR 9webdraw .

- .SH BUGS
- The command
- .B /bin/acme
- is hardcoded.
- .PP
- No authentication is performed, and raw 9P is used rather than
- .IR cpu (1)'s
- protocol.
- .PP
- Rather than hardcoding 9P, plugins for different protocols could
- be chosen using the WebSocket subprotocol header.
- .PP
- Rather than running under
- .IR httpd (8),
- .I websocket
- could present a standard network connection directory in
- .BR /net/websocket .
