Hi Jacob,

good to see that someone adopts this! As to advise...

While I am no expert on WebSockets and its different flavors, I know =
that mod_websocket and my cuddly mod_h2 have several things in common. =
For example they both have to manage the "Upgrade:" dance. And WebSocket =
might want to participate in the TLS+ALPN protocol handling also.

For these things, there are some new features in trunk and hopefully in =
the next 2.4.x release. In case you're interested, we can chat about =
this a bit.

As to other topics, such as moving buckets across threads or =
not-busy-waiting: these areas mod_websocket and mod_h2 have in common to =
find a good solution for. Might also be worth an exchange.

I was (for no particular reason) not subscribed to modules-dev, but am =
now. So you'll also find me there.

cheers,

  Stefan
