websockets protocols?

Question

I couldn't find this online so I thought I'd ask here.

What protocols can be used by websockets currently? (in chrome)

Also does chrome or any other browser plan to support RUDP protocol for websockets eventually?

Thanks in advance!

Also of note, it appears someone created a Flash WebSockets proxy so you can extend your clientbase to anyone with Flash, as well as existing Chrome users.

Answer 2

WebSocket is the protocol. See the Internet-Draft. And it's not using UDP.
