  Dangerously user-friendly web server for quick prototyping and hackathons

This is awesome! This occupies a similar niche to—and might pair well with—my user friendly, single-binary webserver with CGI-like capabilities called QuickServ. When I released that here, one of the comments was that it would be nice to have WebSocket support. Now, I can just point people to this!

Do any of these options support communicating via an http API instead of stdin/out?

Ideally I'd like to have a standalone websocket service that handles long-running connections and then calls my specified API eg. `POST /websocket/client/`. Then the service can respond by sending a `POST /websocket/client/`, like an opensource https://pusher.com? I realise it'd be fairly easy to build myself, just wondering if there is something off the shelf that achieves this?
