I'm not talking about websockets.  There's a bunch of subsystems that 
have their own proprietary protocols i.e. HornetQ has their superfast 
protocol as well as STOMP, neither of which use HTTP or WebSockets. 
THey could use HTTP Upgrade to connect, then just take over the socket 
to do with whatever they wanted.
