    \brief A simple chat between a server and a remote client running in a
    browser.

    \e{Standalone} demonstrates how to use the QWebChannel C++ API to
    communicate with an external client. It is a simple chat between a C++
    application and a remote HTML client running in your default browser.

    \section1 Communicating with a Remote Client

    The C++ application sets up a QWebChannel instance and publishes a \c Core
    object over it. For the remote client side, the \c {index.html} file
    is opened. Both show a dialog with the list of received messages and an input
    box to send messages to the other end.

    The \c Core emits the \c Core::sendText() signal when the user sends
    a message. The signal automatically gets propagated to the HTML client.
    When the user enters a message on the HTML side, \c Core::receiveText()
    is called.

    All communication between the HTML client and the C++ server is done
    over a WebSocket. The C++ side instantiates a QWebSocketServer and
    wraps incoming QWebSocket connections in QWebChannelAbstractTransport
    objects. These objects are then connected to the QWebChannel instance.
