Hi Richard LiveCode does not currently have websocket support. As this has come up recently in a number of areas I had a quick look at the spec (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455>). It looks relatively feasible to implement on top of our current socket support in LiveCode script. Possibly as part of libURL or a separate library.
