Websocket support

Hi @jdavis,

There are two tricky questions to answer with WebSocket support:

  1. What’s the API? Service Workers in the browser today actually can’t intercept WebSockets, and so there’s no standard API defined for doing so. We’ll need to make up something new, hopefully with some chance that it will be accepted into the standard later.

  2. How should WebSockets affect the per-request CPU time limit? Is a whole WebSocket just one request, with the same CPU limit as any other? Or do we treat it as multiple requests (and bill accordingly)?

I can’t make any firm promises, but I would expect WebSocket termination support to show up in the next month or two, but probably treated as a single request with a single CPU time limit. From there we’ll have to see in practice whether changes to the time limits are needed.
