Transport plugin for Racer. It uses pure websockets and fallbacks to browserchannel in the case of old browsers and proxy errors. If you only need to use websockets try racer-ws.

In the server part of your app:

var highway = require('racer-highway'); 

// ...
// var server = http.createServer
// ...

// ...
// var store  = racer.createStore 
// or
// var store  = derby.createStore
// ...

var handlers = highway(store);

expressApp = express();

// ...

expressApp.use(cookieParser());
expressApp.use(session());

// ...

expressApp.use(handlers.middleware);


server.on('upgrade', handlers.upgrade);

Connect session support in hooks:

var serverOptions = {
  session: session()
}
var handlers = racerHighWay(store, serverOptions);
