Echo response that implements http.Hijack

[mschewe]

I could just copy that issue: go-martini/martini#45

It's almost the same problem. I am new to go and working on my first small project. I am now almost done and wanted to add websockets.

But I ran into this error websocket: response does not implement http.Hijacker.
I guess I could just rewrite some parts and use Martini or some other framework, but I really started to like Echo.

What do you think? Would it be possible to implement http.Hijack or would this be against the concept of Echo?

As in the Martini issue I would like to say: "please excuse me if this is just nonesense".

Can you share the code?

I have created a minimal example that reproduces the problem: https://gist.github.com/mschewe/47b08668e6b81f3d4b4f

Please verify - #70

PS: I have a plan to add web socket to the API in future.

As far as I can see it does now work perfectly. Thank you very much!

@mschewe FYI, I have added support for WebSocket in the latest version, here is a small example:

package main

import (
    "github.com/labstack/echo"
    "github.com/labstack/echo/middleware"
    "io"
)

func main() {
    e := echo.New()
    e.Use(middleware.Logger())
    e.WebSocket("/ws/:token", func(c *echo.Context) error {
        io.Copy(c.Socket(), c.Socket())
        return nil
    })
    e.Run(":1323")
}

You can also access path parameters from the context.

Great, this make Echo even more useful!
