[ANN] Zinc WebSockets

> Hi,
>
> I am pleased to announce the first public release of Zinc WebSockets, an implementation of client and server RFC 6455 regular (ws://) and secure (wss://) WebSockets on top of Zinc HTTP Components and Zodiac TLS/SSL Streams.
>
> High level documentation can be found here:
>
>  https://github.com/svenvc/docs/blob/master/zinc/zinc-websockets-paper.md
>
> The code can be found in the regular Zinc repositories, or can be loaded using Metacello:
>
>  ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents project latestVersion load: 'WebSocket'.
>
> Three examples are included and explained in the high level documentation:
>
> 1. a trivial echo service
>
> - each incoming message is simply echoed back to the client
>
> 2. a simple chatroom
>
> - each client opens a web socket to the chatroom service running on the server
> - the server keeps track of all connected client web sockets
> - when a message comes in from any client it is distributed to all clients
> - each client shows all incoming messages
>
> 3. a simple, continously updated status view
>
> - a client connects and listens for incoming messages containing a status report
> - the server streams status reports to each connected client every second
> - in the web browser you get to see the Smalltalk image's clock, memory and process stats
>
> Tested and approved on 2.0 #281. Portability to 1.3 and 1.4 should be OK.
>
> The implementation of Zinc WebSockets was made possible in part through financial backing by Andy Burnett of Knowinnovation Inc. and ESUG. Thanks!
>
> Questions, remarks, feedback ?  Please use the Pharo Smalltalk mailing lists.
