Websockets #1

Right now I'm toying with implementing websockets by giving a handler a way to "take over" the socket and shut down the "async read loop" thingie we have in the server.

I'd probably implement websockets in a whole separate module, as it pulls in at least Digest and MIME::Base64 for the handshake ...

actually, could you stop by on irc some time soon so that we can discuss how to do the hand-over of the socket properly? i can't seem to find a good way to properly do it by re-tapping, and jnthn advised against that anyway ...
