Given the elapsed time so far, maybe we can find another way to do this.

- How hard would it be to script it using LC's good socket support?

- Is there a curl option available that might allow Charles to handle
  this more quickly in tsNet?

- Would it be feasible to use WebSockets through an embedded browser widget?

- What are the use cases requiring WebSockets excluisively?

- Given the better performance and ligher resource usage for normal sockets, could
  the service host consider supporting normal sockets in addition to WebSockets?
