A 'Not Safe to Commit' (NSTC) spike of web sockets using a webworker - no dependencies

Just run from a local webserver - 'brew install nginx' perhaps?

This example uses SharedWorker, although not believed to be necessary for the functionality implemented thus far ;-)

Any code in this repo that actually does run, only does so in Chrome, although shared webworkers are supported in Opera and Safari too, however caniuse.com shows limited cross-browser (specifically no iOS / Android / Firefox / IE) support as of Dec '13, so you should probably be using dedicated workers for now...

If you still want to look at sharedworkers - this post will probably be far more helpful, than any code here http://greenido.wordpress.com/2011/11/03/web-workers-part-3-out-of-3-shared-wrokers/
