[IPython-User] sockjs code test

[Darren Govoni]

Hi,
    When I tried the sockjs branch, my goal was for it to address the 
issue with the main branch
opening random sockets back to the server which is not a firewall or WAN 
friendly approach.
I thought sockjs was coded to address this, but I also was not able to 
get it working and tried
the various suggestions (e.g. setting disabled protocol="ws" etc) but it 
still wouldn't work across
our network.

I would offer again, that despite the convenience of using on-the-fly 
ports, the best and most
web-compliant approach is to tunnel all the client/server interactions 
over the same port/HTTP
that the client originated and use the "front-controller" pattern on the 
server to sort out what
goes where. This approach is proven to work and to scale. And its how 
ipcontroller sort of already
works (as a hub controller for multiple engines and manages the 
interactions of those engines).
