-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 The flash proxy connector (client transport plugin) understands only the
 RFC 6455/hybi-10 type of WebSocket, which is supported by Firefox 7+,
 Chrome 14+, and IE 10+. Safari 5 only supports the older hixie-76/hybi-00
 type of WebSocket.
 (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/WebSockets#Browser_compatibility.) The
 connector should support this type of WebSocket so that Safari can be used
 as a proxy.
