   The concatenation of the number obtained from processing the |Sec-
   WebSocket-Key1| field, expressed as a little-endian 32 bit number,
   the number obtained from processing the |Sec-WebSocket-Key2| field,
   again expressed as a little-endian 32 bit number, and finally the
   eight bytes at the end of the handshake, form a 128 bit string whose
   MD5 sum is then used by the server to prove that it read the
   handshake.

Little-endian?

I'm from Blefuscu (i.e. the Internet), where we break our eggs on the big end.

This all seems a little complex and overcomplicated to me.
