Re: [Twisted-web] Is there a good way to mount both an HTTP Site and a WebSocket Server on port 80?

I was wondering about ways to mount different types of protocol handlers on the same port. It looks like there will be new WebSocket support implementing a websocket Site. We'll also have the existing HTTP Site. Will they both be able to live on port 80? Is it important to be able to do this?

Why would you do this? IIRC WebSocket "switches" from HTTP into WebSocket mode; so what you actually want is for the HTTP Site (actually a Factory) to return a Protocol instance that: 1. Handles HTTP 2. Detects a WebSocket switch 3. Creates a new WebSocket Protocol, attaches the existing transport, and deletes itself
