server should work with Chrome 5, Safari 5 and the latest development version
of Chrome 6.

Thanks to work by [wulczer](https://github.com/wulczer/txWebSocket) this library
also supported the `"hybi-10"` protocol (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-10)
which is implemented by Firefox 6 and Chrome 14.

If using browsers that do *not* support WebSockets, consider using a fallabck
implementation to Flash, as seen in http://github.com/gimite/web-socket-js. The
bundled `test_server.py` will also start a simple Flash Socket Policy server
(see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html)
and should be immediately usable with `web-socket-js`.

Compatibility
=============

This specific branch is maintained to work with Twisted 8.2.0. It may work
with older versions but I haven't tested it. I've backported some of the
features that are required to make this code work for 8.2.0, but I may have
missed some stuff. Most of the unit tests pass, I haven't had time to look
very deep into the 2 that do not, but I think it's just incompatible test
code with Twisted 8.
