FlashSocket is a JavaScript/Flash library which adds WebSocket support to old browsers such as IE6.
This project is aimed to enable WebSocket in old browsers while maintaining a decent performance.
Currently all features are implemented but still in a beta state.
If IE6 support is not required I highly recommend you use one of the libraries listed below. They are more stable and well maintained.
