var server = http.createServer();
server.on('upgrade', function (req, socket) {
    var send = upgrade.getSend(socket);
    upgrade.writeHead(req, socket);
    socket.on('data', function (buff) {
        var data = upgrade.getData(buff);
        console.log('> ' + data);
    });
    send('Welcome to the Server!');
});
server.listen(8000);

// client.js
var socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8000');
socket.onopen = function () {
    socket.send('Hello Server!');
    console.log('> Socket Open.');
};
socket.onmessage = function (evt) {
    var msg = evt.data;
    console.log('> ' + msg);
};
