This document defines a framework for creating WebSocket extensions
that add compression functionality to the WebSocket Protocol.  An
extension based on this framework compresses the payload data portion
of WebSocket data messages on a per-message basis using parameters
negotiated during the opening handshake.  This framework provides a
general method for applying a compression algorithm to the contents
of WebSocket messages.  Each compression algorithm has to be defined
in a document defining the extension by specifying the parameter
negotiation and the payload transformation algorithm in detail.  This
document also specifies one specific compression extension using the
DEFLATE algorithm.

This document is a product of the BiDirectional or Server-Initiated HTTP Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
