# WebSocketSocket
WebSocketSocket implements a custom java.net.Socket over top of a WebSocket, and also a server component
that accepts a WebSocket connection and connects to a host/port. This allows you to tunnel arbitrary TCP
over a WebSocket, even TLS can be used over it. Which potentially allows you to securely establish a
trusted TLS connection even on a network that intercepts TLS on port 443.
Sample Usage
------------
Configure and run SocketWebSocketServer on a remote server.
```java
Socket sock = new WebSocketSocket("ws://remote-server:remote-port/websocket/ssh");
// use sock just like any other standard Socket
```
You can also run SocketProxy on the client which listens on a local TCP port, and connect to that with anything.
