Contribution

  • It would be great to integrate this with Tokio in order to make a fully asyncronous event loop. I haven't needed it personally so far, therefore it hasn't been worth my time to implement it.
  • Currently there are no integration tests with Chrome itself, to make sure that the protocol is implemented correctly. I wasn't sure how to achieve this easily, but if anybody has a suggestion then it would be welcomed.
  • All contributions/suggestions welcome!!
