There’s documentation about chrome.sockets on http://developer.chrome.com/ , but I can’t find anything concerning chrome.experimental.sockets on http://code.google.com/ any more. Dear Chromium developers, please tell me: What happened? Thanks. (I don’t want to miss this wonderful API.)

    The Socket API is only available to Packaged apps (source). This is the reason why the API is listed at the /apps/ API index, but not /extensions/.

    If you try to use the API in an ordinary extension, the extension will fail to load, or be loaded with the following message:
    There were warnings when trying to install this extension: 'socket' is not allowed for specified package type (theme, app, etc.).
