Fwiw, I have not existed outside of plain-text email for years;
so I'll respond inline here and you can link others to this
thread on:

(which anybody may reply-all to after disabling HTML in their mailer)

You mention performance several times, but I am not sure what
you mean.  unicorn completely stops caring for a socket after
it's hijacked by the app.  In other words:

  Your Rack app could take the socket and inject it into an
  event loop running in a separate thread.  That event loop
  could be 100% C code running without GVL for all unicorn
  cares.

  unicorn would only parse the first HTTP request (with the
  Upgrade header) before the Rack app hijacks it.


Also, Ruby IO.select also supports arbitrary number of
descriptors in some cases (Linux for sure, and probably most
server-oriented *BSDs).  Of course, the malloc usage + O(n)
behavior still suck, but no, select(2) is not always limited to
<=1024 FDs.


In any case, I'd be glad to help with lower-level issues over
plain-text email, but I'm not going to attempt to run a
mainstream browser capable of WebSockets or JS.
I suppose curl can deal with WebSockets nowadays?
