[Twisted-web] Is there a good way to mount both an HTTP Site and a WebSocket Server on port 80?

Why would you do this?

IIRC WebSocket "switches" from HTTP into WebSocket mode; so what you 
actually want is for the HTTP Site (actually a Factory) to return a 
Protocol instance that:

  1. Handles HTTP
  2. Detects a WebSocket switch
  3. Creates a new WebSocket Protocol, attaches the existing transport, 
and deletes itself
