WebSockets support in ASP.NET 4.5 should not be limited to IIS! From web server's ISV it's anti-competitive!
HttpContext.AcceptWebSocketRequest() internally uses IIS7WorkerRequest, which makes high-level WebSockets support in ASP.NET depend on IIS. But IIS is not the only http.sys-based web server for ASP.NET! (http://ultidev.com/products/UWS/) To enable other ASP.NET web server vendors support for WebSockets, *HttpWorkerRequest should be modified to include WebSockets access virtual methods*, and HttpContext.AcceptWebSocketRequest() should call standard HttpWorkerRequest interface instead of proprietary IIS7WorkerRequest.
HttpWorkerRequest must have WebSockets interface used by
