12:52 <Candle> Has anyone seen a ponylang websocket client lurking around anywhere?

12:52 <SeanTAllen> I have not Candle

12:54 <Candle> I've seen a websocket server around... Oh well, /me adds another project to the stack! At some point I may be able to pop something off this stack...

12:57 <Candle> I have a library for https://github.com/maxmind/MaxMind-DB/blob/master/MaxMind-DB-spec.md that I need to push; the spec for websockets looks much simpler, and I can probably re-use some of the bit-twiddling code.

13:08 <Candle> Hrm, a lot of the server code can be re-used without it needing to be modified; just need to initialise the tcp connection before handing it off to their WebSocketConnection.

13:12 <vaninwagen> Candle you just need to do the initial http dance and return a 101 upgrade response and then the connection is considered a websocket connection isnt it? Or does the spec require a new connection to be opened?

13:15 <Candle> From the client side, you start as HTTP, sending a bunch of headers with a GET request, and if the stars align, then you can pass that resulting TCP connection to the WebSocketConnection actor from https://github.com/oraoto/pony-websocket, and then using it should be the same as the intended use in oraoto/pony-websocket.
