Would it help if i supplied a gist (written in Scala)?

The Server then acknowledges that he's indeed capable of handling websockets, replies with the first part of the response-header and handles the nonce and second part of the response-header afterwards (working Python/Tornado solution: http://groups.google.com/group/python-tornado/browse_thread/thread/fdc3d62c5b3725aa).
