Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Websocket implementation and related issues #581 and #525; the issue does not name files or tests. Compare the proposed python-socketio approach with the Tornado integration, then define how unsupported Websockets should fall back to persistent HTTP connections and how completion will be tested.

Description

priority-3-low type-investigation
Current Situation

Currently, IDOM does not fallback to keep-alive HTTP persistent connections in the event that Websockets are not supported.

Proposed Actions

Utilize replace Websocket connections with the Socket.io API, which fills in this gap.

We will need to use python-socketio for compatibility, likely the same way they do with Tornado.
