Comment 1 for bug 1268619

Testing with Evergreen:

There is a lot of JS code in Evergreen (dojo libs and UI code) which assume synchronous communication, which does not work with Websockets, as noted above. Because of this, it's not possible to use the OpenSRF WebSocket JS libs as a drop-in replacement for Evergreen.

Testing for now has to happen a lower level, using OpenSRF JS directly or, for the adventurous.. The browser-based staff client prototype code assumes all async and I have confirmed that it works fine with WebSockets.
