[hybi] WebSocket & Nagle

["Greg Longtin" <[e-mail]>]

To all,

I have been working with WebSocket, based on it being a browser based socket
interface for intranet use.

I've created a Windows server, and have been testing with the MSFT 05 and 06
Silverlight prototypes and Pat McManus' WS 06 Minefield build (thank you.)

I believe all three implementations allow the use of the Nagle algorithm for
sending client packets.  On my system, this intermittently introduces a 200
mS delay, along with the combining of packets.  IMHO, for many applications,
that amount of delay isn't acceptable.

I'm not an Internet network type, so I'm not familiar with implications at
that level.

>From my perspective, it would be best if either Nagle was disabled for
WebSocket packets, or the browser script API would allow one to do so.  I
realize that option is outside of hybi spec.

Thanks,

Greg
