| 4 = Introduction = | |
| 5 | |
| 6 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Sockets Web Sockets] is a new protocol for providing web pages with simple two-way communication with a web server. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 In our case it is interesting to tunnel XMPP over web sockets, as an alternative to e.g. BOSH, web sockets having less overhead. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 Note that the Web Socket specification has not been finalized, and is still evolving. There are currently no XMPP libraries capable of Web Sockets, but a good candidate for initial support is [http://code.stanziq.com/strophe/ Strophe.js]. | |

| 12 = Usage = | |
| 13 | |
| 14 Simply add mod_websocket to your modules_enabled list, as you would any other module. The repository includes a demo websocket.html file to show connecting to the socket. It doesn't yet perform any XMPP (see above comment about Strophe). | |
