We have an existing large Django 1.11 & Django-rest-framework application served by wsgi. We noticed that we might want to use a WebSocker for some requests (for example: get all running tasks - live updating)

There is already a GET URL for that: /api/tasks?running=ture So we would like to use same methods and serve this data via WebSocket (Same port is important)

Is it possible? How?

You want [django-channels](https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for this. – Daniel Roseman Apr 16 '17 at 13:20
Wow, I did not know this so far! But, is there any `wsgi` supported option? – Oz Bar-Shalom Apr 16 '17 at 15:21
I don`t want to change how my application runs (using wsgi) – Oz Bar-Shalom Apr 16 '17 at 15:21
I think you will have to look into Autobahn-python if you want wsgi. Disclaimer: I haven't yet used it myself, but am looking into this for my next project – dentemm Apr 16 '17 at 17:10
