History:
Urban legend has it that Web Sockets were invented by Ian Hickson as a way to control his model train set from a browser. Unfortunately, it's not true — Hickson says on the matter (personal communication):
I think work on Web Sockets (TCPConnection at the time) predates my thoughts of running my train layout using Web Sockets, but Web Sockets definitely would make doing so much easier. The problem is the normal Web app controlling a single system problem: there is one computer with a serial port connection to the Märklin Interface unit, and one wants to be able to write a Web page that communicates with that computer, sending instructions and receiving updates, without having to poll, have multiple connections, use <script> streams in <iframe>s, etc.
