Simple websocket client/server demo

Simple demo of a node-based websocket client and server using ws.

Our server sends out a timestamp once a second and our client simply prints out any messages it receives.

Install ws:

npm install -g ws

Running the server:

# server.coffee 
websocket server created -> ws://localhost:8081
use CTRL-C to quit
connection open
connection closed
^C

Running the client:

# client.coffee 
connected (use CTRL+C to quit)

"2013-12-17T18:03:58.946Z"
"2013-12-17T18:03:59.947Z"
^C

Connecting to the server with wscat:

# wscat -c ws://localhost:8081
