I'm not an expert, but I seem to recollect a web sockets example using node.js where it built it's own web server and it didn't seem to be a lot of code.

(I was doing a [fairly minimal] amount of googling on web sockets because the boss was interesting in using them to drive the shipping signs in the warehouse. Didn't pursue it further because there was more interest and experience using .net than Java and I was otherwise busy...)

One application for Node.js that readily comes to mind is a Web socket
server, so that browsers might simultaneously connect to both an IBM i HTTP
server and a Web socket server.

The distinguishing feature of Web sockets is that servers can push content
to the browser without the browser explicitly requesting it. Web sockets
provide for feeder-reader cases where servers push content to browsers when
events become known on the server.

Say the server monitors temperature changes and subsequently feeds those
events to clients.
