[Twisted-Python] AMP WebSockets bridging

[Laurens Van Houtven]

Unfortunately I have a lot of customers that are non technical, use IE6/7,
and can't or won't use chrome frame. I wish that wasn't the case, but... I
also have no data on the presence of old and busted flash plugins.

I might do this anyway beause:

- the relevant ticket hasn't landed yet
- even if you don't get 100% you get a lot more for very little effort

Do you happen to know what the figures are like for iOS? I know mobile
Safari only got web sockets in 4.something (1 or 2), I'm not sure what
version of the protocol it speaks either, and obviously flash isn't an
option...

Cheers
