WebSocket Per-message Compression
draft-ietf-hybi-permessage-compression-03
Abstract
This specification defines a WebSocket extension that adds
compression functionality to the WebSocket Protocol. It compresses
the payload of non-control WebSocket messages using specified
compression algorithm. One reserved bit RSV1 in the WebSocket frame
header is allocated to control application of compression for each
message. This specification provides one compression method
available for the extension using DEFLATE.
Please send feedback to the hybi@ietf.org mailing list.

Internet-Draft WebSocket Per-message Compression October 2012
1. Introduction
_This section is non-normative._
As well as other communication protocols, the WebSocket Protocol
[RFC6455] can benefit from compression technology. This
specification defines a WebSocket extension that applies a
compression algorithm to octets exchanged over the WebSocket Protocol
