title: Connect to TCP socket listener with a WebSocket server
body: <p>I have a application that has a TCP socket listener that I need to broadcast from a server-side application to. I do not control this TCP listener and can't make any changes to it. Is there any way to broadcast to that listener with WebSockets instead of TCP? I know that WebSockets are an Application Level networking tool that implements a HTTP handshake, among other things, over a TCP connection. Is there any way to strip that extra stuff off?</p>
  
  <p>I ask because the application will be running on Heroku, which does not support TCP connections.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried writing a little talker and listener application and the listener receives a HTTP header and seemingly nothing else when I try to broadcast to it, which is expected.</p>
