"""Implementation of the WebSocket protocol.
`WebSockets `_ allow for bidirectional
communication between the browser and server.
.. warning::
The WebSocket protocol was recently finalized as `RFC 6455
`_ and is not yet supported in
all browsers. Refer to http://caniuse.com/websockets for details
on compatibility. In addition, during development the protocol
went through several incompatible versions, and some browsers only
support older versions. By default this module only supports the
latest version of the protocol, but optional support for an older
version (known as "draft 76" or "hixie-76") can be enabled by
overriding `WebSocketHandler.allow_draft76` (see that method's
documentation for caveats).

Override `on_message` to handle incoming messages, and use
`write_message` to send messages to the client. You can also
override `open` and `on_close` to handle opened and closed
connections.
See http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/ for details on the
JavaScript interface. The protocol is specified at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455.
Here is an example WebSocket handler that echos back all received messages
back to the client::
class EchoWebSocket(websocket.WebSocketHandler):
def open(self):
print "WebSocket opened"
def on_message(self, message):
self.write_message(u"You said: " + message)
def on_close(self):
print "WebSocket closed"
WebSockets are not standard HTTP connections. The "handshake" is
HTTP, but after the handshake, the protocol is
message-based. Consequently, most of the Tornado HTTP facilities
are not available in handlers of this type. The only communication
methods available to you are `write_message()`, `ping()`, and
`close()`. Likewise, your request handler class should implement
`open()` method rather than ``get()`` or ``post()``.
If you map the handler above to ``/websocket`` in your application, you can
invoke it in JavaScript with::
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8888/websocket");
ws.onopen = function() {
ws.send("Hello, world");
};
ws.onmessage = function (evt) {
alert(evt.data);
};
This script pops up an alert box that says "You said: Hello, world".
