	<section>
	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>This module implements a WebSocket (RFC 6455) server and provides
	connection establishment (handshaking), management (including
	connection keep-alive), and framing for the SIP and MSRP WebSocket
	sub-protocols (draft-ietf-sipcore-sip-websocket and
	draft-pd-msrp-websocket).</para>
	<para>The module supports WebSockets (ws) and secure WebSockets (wss)
	</para>

	<section>
	<title>How it works</title>
	<section>
	<title>Initiating a connection</title>
	<para>A WebSocket connection is initiated with an HTTP GET.  The
	<emphasis>xhttp</emphasis> module is used to handle this GET and
	call the <xref linkend="websocket.f.ws_handle_handshake"/> exported function.
	</para>
	<para><emphasis>event_route[xhttp:request]</emphasis> should perform
	some validation of the HTTP headers before calling
	<xref linkend="websocket.f.ws_handle_handshake"/>.  The event_route can also be
	used to make sure the HTTP GET has the correct URI, perform HTTP
	authentication on the WebSocket connection, and check the
	<emphasis>Origin</emphasis> header (RFC 6454) to ensure a
	browser-based SIP UA or MSRP client has been downloaded from the
	correct location.</para>

	<title>SIP message routing</title>
	<para>SIP over WebSockets uses invalid URIs in routing headers
	(Contact:, Record-Route:, and Via:) because a JavaScript stack running
	in a browser has no way to determine the local address from which the
	WebSocket connection is made.  This means that the routing headers
	cannot be used for request or response routing in the normal manner.
	</para>
	<para>draft-ietf-sipcore-sip-websocket states that SIP WebSocket
	Clients and the SIP registrar should implement Outbound (RFC 5626) and
	Path (RFC 3327) to enable requests and responses to be correctly
	routed.  However, &kamailio; does not currently support Outbound and
	it may not be possible to guarantee all SIP WebSocket clients will
	support Outbound and Path.</para>
	<para>The <emphasis>nathelper</emphasis> module functions
	(<emphasis>nat_uac_test()</emphasis>, 
	<emphasis>fix_nated_register()</emphasis>,
	<emphasis>add_contact_alias()</emphasis>, and
	<emphasis>handle_ruri_alias()</emphasis>) and the Kamailio core
	<emphasis>force_rport()</emphasis> can be used to ensure correct
	routing of SIP WebSocket requests without using Outbound and Path.
