Right now WebSockets only works with complete messages, there's no streaming support. I suspect that if we add streaming support to the protocol and the API, it'll be exposed as some sort of Stream object, which would then have a way to get the data out of it in chunked form, maybe a growing list of ArrayBuffers or something. I haven't looked at it in detail yet. There would probably be some relationship to MediaStream, too; roc may have an opinion on this topic, as he has spoken about it before. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
