How to use mio with ratchet ?

[beanqi]

I'm currently exploring the possibility of integrating ratchet with mio directly, as I'm working in an environment where I'd prefer to avoid pulling in tokio as a dependency.

I was wondering if you could provide some guidance or point me in the right direction on how one might approach this. Specifically, I'm trying to understand:

• Connection Establishment: What would be the general approach to establish a WebSocket(with tls) connection using ratchet when the underlying I/O is managed by mio?
• Splitting Reader/Writer: Once a connection is established, how could I effectively split the stream into a reader and a writer half that can be independently managed within a mio-based event loop?
  Are there any existing examples, or perhaps could you outline the general steps or challenges involved in such an integration?
  Any pointers or high-level ideas would be greatly appreciated.
