I don't think you can assume that most websocket using software and/or subprotocols will have the same developer working on the client side and the server side. I can see separate impls for opera, firefox, jetty, tomcat, httpd etc. for some a standard subprotocol for multiplexing ws connections. I can also see standards emerge for ws connection management that supports reconnects and retransmission. These might be implemented in server frameworks and in js libraries like dojo and jquery. Even if the dev team is the same client and server, it's just as likely that different developers will work on the javascript vs server language portions. Even if the same person wrote both parts, it sounds like fragile design to assume implementation details of the other part. Websockets is meant to be a significant change in web application development and new app models are likely to emerge. I think it is very dangerous to say anything is "typical" of a protocol not yet deployed. Even if there are typical usage patterns, I don't think it is good to design a protocol that only works for them. regards Ian Hickson wrote: > On Wed, 3 Feb 2010, Graham Klyne wrote: >> Ian Hickson wrote: >>> The server and the client are typically written by the same person. >> If this is the basis on which the protocol is being specified, I don't >> understand why it's being done in a standards body. > > So that the platform on top of which the client is written can be > interoperably implemented such that it is possible for the clients to run > on any implementation of the platform interoperably. > > To clarify the terminology, from the perspective of the subprotocol > running on Web Sockets, the platform is the browser with the Web Socket > API, and the client is the JS code invoking the API, and implementing the > client part of the subprotocol.
