ocaml-websocket — Websocket library for OCaml
The WebSocket Protocol enables two-way communication between a client running untrusted code in a controlled environment to a remote host that has opted-in to communications from that code.
The security model used for this is the origin-based security model commonly used by web browsers. The protocol consists of an opening handshake followed by basic message framing, layered over TCP.
The goal of this technology is to provide a mechanism for browser-based applications that need two-way communication with servers that does not rely on opening multiple HTTP connections (e.g., using XMLHttpRequest or <iframe>s and long polling).
Installation
ocaml-websocket can be installed with opam:
opam install websocket
If you don't use opam please consult the websocket.opam,
websocket-lwt.opam and websocket-async.opam files for build
instructions.
