Solution 1:

Unfortunately, you can't use websockets to listen to raw tcp or udp socket, on the server side you need to create a websocket interface as well.

However in Chrome extensions you can make use of chrome.sockets.tcp see:

There is also some limited support by mozilla:

Another solution is creating a nodeJS server, which will be listening on the raw tcp socket and converting it to a websocket.

you can also try websockify: https://github.com/novnc/websockify
