WebSocket协议是基于TCP的一种新的网络协议。它实现了浏览器与服务器全双工(full-duplex)通信——允许服务器主动发送信息给客户端。
WebSocket通信协议于2011年被IETF定为标准RFC 6455，并被RFC7936所补充规范。
在golang语言中，目前有两种比较常用的实现方式：一个是golang自带的库，另一个是gorilla，功能强大。
golang自带库的使用例子可参考以前的博文:Golang如何使用websocket
本文以gorilla为例，介绍websocket的使用。
下载gorilla
# go get github.com/gorilla/websocket下面例子中主要包括两部分，server和client。
client部分又包括：web client(浏览器)和非web client。
server
server端是一个HTTP 服务器，监听8080端口。
当接收到连接请求后，将连接使用的http协议升级为websocket协议。后续通信过程中，使用websocket进行通信。
对每个连接，server端等待读取数据，读到数据后，打印数据，然后，将数据又发送给client.
server启动方式
# go run server.goserver.go代码如下：

)
var addr = flag.String("addr", "localhost:8080", "http service address")
var upgrader = websocket.Upgrader{} // use default options
func echo(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
c, err := upgrader.Upgrade(w, r, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Print("upgrade:", err)
return
}
defer c.Close()
for {
mt, message, err := c.ReadMessage()
if err != nil {
log.Println("read:", err)
break
}
log.Printf("recv: %s", message)
err = c.WriteMessage(mt, message)
if err != nil {
log.Println("write:", err)
break
}
}
}
func home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
homeTemplate.Execute(w, "ws://"+r.Host+"/echo")
}
func main() {
flag.Parse()
log.SetFlags(0)
http.HandleFunc("/echo", echo)
http.HandleFunc("/", home)
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(*addr, nil))
}
var homeTemplate = template.Must(template.New("").Parse(`

非web client
client启动后，首先连接server。
连接建立后，主routine每一秒钟向server发送消息(当前时间)。
另一个routine从server接收数据,并打印。
当client退出时，会向server发送关闭消息。接着，等待退出。

web client
web client，也就是使用浏览器。
在浏览器中输入http://127.0.0.1:8080
"Open"，然后"send"
server output:
recv: Hello world!!
