+Websocket handlers
+==================
+
+Purpose
+-------
+
+Websockets are an extension to HTTP to emulate plain TCP connections
+between the user's browser and the server. Requests that are upgraded
+are then handled by websocket handlers.
+
+Both sides of the socket can send data at any time asynchronously.
+
+Callbacks
+---------
+
+@todo Describe the callbacks.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+@todo Explain how to use them.
