Moving member section and core TC to BCC as this is a bindmap topic. Hi Raph, We considered mapping AMQP frames to Websocket frames but ruled it out primarily because different hops in a multi-hop Websocket chain could use different frame sizes. For example, an intermediary may read a Websocket message that is split over two frames and send it on re-encoded in to 1 frame or 3 frames. Because of this there’s no way to know what AMQP frame size should be negotiated to ensure that it could safely be transmitted in a single Websocket frame. We took advice on this from several folks who worked on the spec and they all made the same recommendation that we should map AMQP frames to Websocket messages. All - I’ve sent out a meeting request for a Websockets discussion next Wednesday at 9am Pacific time. I’ve only included those folks that I know are interested in contributing to the spec. If you don’t see the invite but would like to attend then ping me. For those of you interested in reviewing the resultant spec, hang on a while, we’ll have a dedicated review when we have agreement on direction between the authors. Thanks, Dave.
