I think this is a great idea. From the moment I heard of WebSockets I was disappointed it was only a thing between the sockets-capable-web-server and the client and not a real TCP connection to wherever you want. This solves stuff :) However, I think that you should keep an eye on the possible security implications (ex. fooling the same origin policy, using your websockets proxy as a hub to attack other systems on the internet, ...)

Doesn't websockify do this better?

  It looks like with websockify you have to run a server with their wrapper to make it work

    It looks like this also requires a server with a wrapper. The difference is that websockify is more efficient.

Isn't the major benefit of WebSockets that is actually has a fair chance to pass through all the crazy proxies and gateways installed in every office, home and coffe shop, that would otherwise filter any non-HTTP traffic?
