NanoHTTPD websocket

[tcrowe]

I'm running:

• Which Aion version?: branch: testnet_q3_mastery, HEAD
• Which operating system?: Unix, Linux
• Which distributor and version?: Darwin OSX, Debian 9 (stretch)
• How installed?: from source
• Are you fully synchronized?: yes
• Did you try to restart the node?: yes

There's no bug. I am wondering what has been the discussion so far.

I tried connecting with Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider but I realized that is not implemented on Aion.

I looked into it and found that Aion runs NanoHTTPD which reports to have websocket functionality. This may enable more features on web3 JS.

Web3 has a subscription feature. I don't see how I can make that work unless I poll the server which would be difficult to track the events that way.

I don't know what difficulty it would be for the Java devs or if it's necessary to have it.

Your thoughts?

Thanks for your report, in the next release, we will replace the HTTP service implement. Let on we will try to let the feature in. Thanks.

@JayT106 is this something you see happening on v0.3.2?
