websockets?

is there A better web socket plugin then the default?

i ask this because the default only sends text ?

atm there is not, at least not widely implemented and supported.

There is WebRTC, its detailed a bit in one of Scirras blogs about future plans.

But its not widely supported and limits to browser types communicating with eachother.

other then that

Ajax PHP for slow data text communication

Websocket, socket.io.

for relative fast data text comminication.
