Websocket draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-10

[이희승 (Trustin Lee)]

 Hi,  

Sure. It would be great if Netty could provide the up-to-date Web Socket codec and everyone can leverage it. Please feel free to contact the authors.

If supporting hixie 75/76 and hybi drafts together is not too complex, I'm OK with the suggestion. We will see what we can do with protocol version management soon. :-)

Cheers
