Thanks Ian, I appreciate your respect :) However, zerogw is designed
with browser clients in mind. Mark's use case may be a bit different.
Although, I would support usage of zerogw for other applications, but
I'm not going to implement outbound websocket connections at the
current stage of evolution of zerogw, so you need some complementary
client implementation.
