Ian, I think I already exposed the issue with your suggestion:

- Web Server:  1.1.1.1:80
- WebSocket Server:  2.2.2.2:80

The webbrowser gets a page and a JS code from 1.1.1.1:80.
The JS opens a WebSocket connection with 2.2.2.2:80.

Could you explain me how the WebSocket server, ***running in a
separate server***, can authenticate the user based on previous user's
authentication with the Web Server?
