Hmm.
I understand that websocket is a TCP/IP protocol that (after being opened due
to commands communicated via HTTP) stays open and hence provides a pipe that
both sites can push data in.
More or less, yes.
This potentially might be suitable to allow the server (i.e. the fast-cgi
program) to send state-messages to the browser (e.g.in order to create a
web-GUI).
Check e.g. the "leap motion" device.
It uses a websocket to stream the skeleton tracking data to whoever wants it.
This I consider a good example of the use of a websocket.
IMO a web-gui that needs a stateful server part is suicide (it doesn't scale at
all),
and therefor I consider that a bad example.
