+ws-ndn-js
+=========
+
+WebSocket proxy server between NDN javascript stack and ccnd
+
+This proxy runs on top of 'node.js'. 'ws' package is required. It listens for WebSocket connection request on port number 9696. Once it receives a incoming connection, it issues a TCP connection to the specified 'ccnd' router (port number 9695). It then translates packet frames from WebSocket to pure TCP byte streams and vice versa.
+
+To run the proxy, simply use the command 'node ws-ndn.js'.
+
+Acknowledgement: this code is extended from Junxiao's WebSocket proxy implementation (https://gist.github.com/3835425).
