Compression Extensions for WebSocket
draft-ietf-hybi-permessage-compression-07
Abstract
This document specifies a framework for creating WebSocket extensions
that add compression functionality to the WebSocket Protocol. An
extension based on this framework compresses the payload data portion
of non-control WebSocket messages on per-message basis using
parameters negotiated during the opening handshake. This framework
provides a general method to apply a compression algorithm to the
contents of WebSocket messages. For each compression algorithm, an
extension is defined by specifying parameter negotiation and
compression algorithm in detail. This document also specifies one
specific compression extension using the DEFLATE algorithm.
Please send feedback to the hybi@ietf.org mailing list.
