--- Comment #7 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> ---
That would be a bad way of doing things. If it's a WebSocket connection, use
the WebSocket protocol to send back the error, not HTTP. WebSocket isn't really
anything to de with HTTP, it just happens to be compatible for legacy reasons
(to make it easier to use one port with both protocols).

We can't expose stuff from arbitrary cross-origin HTTP servers. It would let
you do all kinds of things like intranet inspection, etc.
