Configuring and Optimizing WebSocket Compression

It's always a treat, both intellectually and visually, to see new posts by Ilya. They are consistently excellent. You would be well advised to read the previous posts as well.

On a related note, I didn't realise that websockets didn't already support compression. I just assumed that you could use your standard gzip HTTP compression, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Thanks Ilya, great article and overview!
