Description

The current Thrift.js Transport mechanism is only via AJAX. This should support the ability to choose the type as AJAX or WebSocket. An additional mechanism, which may make sense is a native call as well, through NPAPI or JSExtensions. This makes it useful for Embedded devices, which implement these methods.
