// Among other files, this directory contains functionality for two
// stream proxies: streamtranslator.go and streamtunnel.go. Both of
// these proxies allow the inter-connection of WebSocket and SPDY
// streaming connections.
//
// The stream translator proxy is used for the RemoteCommand
// subprotocol (e.g. kubectl exec, cp, and attach), and it connects
// the output streams of a WebSocket connection (e.g. STDIN, STDOUT,
// STDERR, TTY resize, and error streams) to the input streams of a
// SPDY connection.
//
// The stream tunnel proxy tunnels SPDY frames through a WebSocket
// connection, and it is used for the PortForward subprotocol (e.g.
// kubectl port-forward). This proxy implements tunneling by transparently
// encoding and decoding SPDY framed data into and out of the payload of a
// WebSocket data frame. The primary structure for this tunneling is
// the TunnelingConnection. A lot of the other code in streamtunnel.go
// is for properly upgrading both the upstream SPDY connection and the
// downstream WebSocket connection before streaming begins.
