TCPSocket implemented in Javascript is a DOM technology providing web pages a direct access to TCP network sockets.  We support both outgoing connections and listening to incoming connections via a server socket.

I’m constantly requested to review changes under this code in /dom/network where TCPSocket et al resides.  And I’m always lost in the mess of all classes and objects involved in the IPC bridging.

As a side result of the last review request I’ve dived into the jungle and crated a “UML” flow chart that helps me understand – and not forget again – the complicated flow of IPC’ing in both TCPSocket and TCPServerSocket.

Here they are.

Not perfect, I’m no UML expert, but I think one can understand and make a picture that may be helpful
