+This section documents supplemental HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol)
+support functions that are available.
+
+These functions can be used in conjunction with the
+<<nng_ws.7#,WebSocket>> transport for Scalability Protocols, or they
+may be used to construct other types of applications that communicate
+using HTTP.
+
+It is also possible to combine the two, such that an HTTP server providing
+static or dynamic content can also be used to host one or more Scalability
+Protocols sockets.
