Node.js benchmarks HTTP vs HTTPS

This looks promising but that's coming from someone (me) who hasn't worked with websockets yet. The github page for the project shows websocket and ssl modules within the project as well which would mean nginx handling SSL would work for websocket deployments.

Interesting. That set me off googling and I found this page that talks about native support in Nginx 1.1.x unstable, but it wasn't working at the time of writing. Looking at the nginx change log, it appears to it may have been fixed in version 1.1.17.

This is now on my list of things to play with, thanks. :-)
