User Story

As a developer, i would like to be able to install an add-on that adds a protocol parser to the Mozilla websocket monitor so that I can display protocol specific information in the payload frames in the monitor, such as protocol control characters and payload and payload metadata. 

- Enlist community to write protocol specific parsers.
- Parsers help display payloads and payload metadata: for example, channel target of message, message content, etc

For example, for a websocket connection upgraded to socket.io, a protocol handler can be installed by a socket.io add-on to parse socket.IO specific traffic.

Protocol upgrade registration occurs during http WS handshake. A protocol identifier is passed. Please note that all protocol identifiers are necessarily registered with iana registration for websocket protocols: http://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xml

Please note bug 1197903 to be able to parse basic JSON and text payloads without protocol information.

Websocket tooling should be able to display protocol specific payloads for protocol upgraded websocket connections.
