WebSockets with EventMachine for Real-Time Communications with Tropo

Here is a blogpost I did on WebSockets and Tropo, Putting the Real-time in your Communications. This shows how to use WebSockets to interact with users over phone calls.

There are security issues with WebSocket :

Firefox and Opera drop support

Correct, that is why I put a note at the end of the post:

“Note: Recently a security issue was disocovered in the WebSocket protocol which has caused Firefox to remove WebSockets from their latest beta. While you may still use WebSockets in certain scenarios, the standard now appears to be in flux again. WebSockets will be around, albeit most likely with changes. We will be following this post up with a more detailed overview of how to use XMPP and BOSH from our network, as Tropo natively supports XMPP, to achieve the same real-time capabilities.”

Having said this, this particular scenario would not be impacted by that security issue. But, given the standard will most likely change, it is in flux.
