Known Subclasses:

Encapsulates an HTML 5 Websocket.

Instances of this class are created by an HttpClient instance when a client succeeds in a websocket handshake with a server. Once an instance has been obtained it can be used to s or receive buffers of data from the connection, a bit like a TCP socket.
