I discovered recently that one part of the Pusher javascript library does basically this (using arrays of javascript strings, just as in the article). And this isn't test code, it's the actual code they use for connection fallback logic. Utterly bizarre. https://github.com/pusher/pusher-js/blob/2.2/src/defaults.js... parser in https://github.com/pusher/pusher-js/blob/2.2/src/strategies/...

It does seem to be the most commonly used WebSocket polyfill around. We also use web-socket-js [1] for fallback. But Version 3.0 of pusher-js [2] will remove that. One negative with SockJS has been the complexity of the fallback approach on the client (the browser). Especially when it's only for 8% of connections. A single simple cross-browser HTTP-based transport would remove the code complexity and reduce the file size.
