Does Wii browser support WebSockets?

Question

Does the browser in the Wii support websockets? I know the Wii uses opera, but I just want to make sure since I don't have a way of testing this.

Answer 1

No. The Internet Channel on the Wii was based off of Opera 9. Opera did not have any web socket support of any kind until Opera 11 and even now is disabled by default.

Is Flash installed? If so you could fallback to a Flash Socket. See: github.com/gimite/web-socket-js – Coulomb
