Yes - as much as data until the socket blocks. And it

should hide everything else from the application, e.g.

"sha1('Sec-WebSocket-Accept')".

Is is easy to figure out, whether the the data contains

half of a request or multiple requests.

I don't know about others, but we need only the server-side

counterpart to the _javascript_ "new WebSocket(url)".

Thanks a lot!
