Description-en: WebSocket pluggable transport - server
Pluggable transports are tools that transform a stream of application traffic
into a different format on the network. This helps to bypass network-level
censorship.
.
This package contains a server transport plugin that accepts connections
transformed to look like the websocket protocol. This is typically used to
enhance systems like Tor, to provide service even to censored users.
.
See flashproxy-client for a corresponding client transport plugin, meant for
users to bypass censorship, that is compatible with the websocket protocol that
this package expects.
.
(The source package also contains a websocket-client transport plugin, but
this is just a demo that is less effective than flashproxy-client, and not
meant to be used in real situations.)
