Well, I'm interested in websocket. Since websocket has been one of the
most popular protocols among internet, espcially in real-time based
websites. It's good to see it in Qt, no matter as add-on or directly in
the source.
But in my own opinion, add-on may loss support during version bump of
Qt. Last time I checked around add-ons, there were still some of them
remain in 4.8.
BTW, there's another implementation of websocket in Qt[1], I have no
idea what's the difference of yours and this one.

1. Is there any interest in adding this to Qt?
yes, please :)
2. If so, should this be added to QtNetwork or is a add-on preferred?
My first impression is that it is not extensively used by big sites (yet), is
it? So I would rather go for an add-on for now, but I am of course open to be
convinced otherwise.
I don't have figures about the popularity of websockets, so I cannot tell.
Going for an add-on seems acceptable, given the large install base of Qt.
Also apparently the API is rather big (5 classes with lots of methods), so
adding it as an add-on (first) might be something to consider as well, in case
we want to change the API even after the review or so...
Well, the API for the end-user consists in fact only of 2 classes: one for
client applications (WebSocket class, comparable to QTcpSocket), and one for
server applications (WebSocketServer class). The APIs are modelled after
QAbstractSocket resp. QTcpServer, so the learning curve should be minimal.
However, you have a point that it might be better to add it to the add-ons, in
order to get a 'feeling' if it fits the main library or not (I suppose
customers will tell).
BTW: I only received 2 responses to this mail: does that mean, this is not
important enough to be considered for inclusion? I am a bit confused about how
to proceed. Do I just dump the code into gitorious, and wait for reactions? Do
I leave it where it is? (BTW, Shane already reviewed some of the code, which is
awesome; thanks Shane).
