Talk:WebSocket

NAT
Most computers have a NAT address. Websocket seems to work at public IP addresses but not when the server is behind NAT with port forwarding, which does work with http servers behind NAT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.130.143.161 (talk) 17:04, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 * When you say it does not work, do you mean it does not work at all, ever, to do a WebSocket connection to a server behind a NAT, or that the connection stops working after awhile?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.99.11.116 (talk) 12:01, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

WebSocket vs WebSockets, part II
While this has already been debated, I feel like we should at least mention the plural vs singular differentiation and usage in the article (along with an assertion of which being correct). Personally, I landed on this page trying to figure out which was more correct. I don't have the answer on it, but I think that it would be an interesting section to have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meow-ology (talk • contribs) 20:34, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Remove historical info like drafts-info and their proxy problems, or at least move it to a Historical chapter?
The standard was set in 2011, that is, 10 years ago. To high light which implementations support pre-standard drafts must be of extremely low value from 2021 and onwards and only clutters the page. Discussions about so old pre-standard draft versions and their problems and changes vs the established standard is of course information in itself, but shouldn't a general Wikipedia page about WebSocket protocol skip such old unimportant historic aspects given that the standard is 10 years old and stable since long?

There is also a part in the Proxy Chapter discussing problems with draft implementations which could be removed. It probably only complicates understanding more than it actually explains — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.99.11.116 (talk) 11:53, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Add simple implementation inline (e.g. Python)
I believe the WebSocket protocol is not too complicated, which means it shouldn't be too bad to add a full implementation in, let's say, Python.

I'm not sure to what extent or how broad it should be.

I think two simple client and server code blocks should suffice. Dewycube (talk) 00:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
