Do you have any idea how should it work? Something like https://github.com/jeremyong/websocket_client ?

[benoitc]

I am more thinking to an API like the async one. Ie you open a websocket, set the pid where to receive the messages (by default self()) Then you can pause, continue or cancel the stream. I am thinking to do the same for SPDY as well. Nothing stop after that to propose an API ala gen_server on top. What do you think?

Also the parser should be synchronous and available in hackney_lib.

Interesting... And how this async-like API will send messages back as websockets are two-way communication?
