If that’s how it works it means that all my data is going through your proxy server. Is that correct? Is the connection encrypted?
Yes we have proxy servers. And yes the connection is encrypted

chrome for android supports websockets.
Only on 4.0: it represents less than 1.5% of all Androids now. iOS had Websockets since 4.1, for over 1.5 years. Unless Chrome gets back-ported to Android 2.2 and 2.3 it will take a very long time.

Pretty annoying.

I thought 4.0 was supposed to stop that? iOS 5.1 runs on every iOS device released in the last 3 years. When can we expect all Android devices released in the past 2-3 years running the latest OS?
when the carriers and handset manufacturers pull their collective thumbs out of their asses.

The way they do it is elegant, and could be used in many other places than just the iPhone. All you need is a browser that supports websockets. I'm not really aware of that stuff, but I'm a bit curious. Do websockets really work over mobile networks (which are, at least in my experience, transparent proxied, and where anything outside of HTTP-on-port-80/HTTPS-on-port-443 is blacklisted into oblivion) ?
My experience is the exact opposite: all networks I've used in the US (Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile; in essence, all of the major ones) and the few I've used in the UK (while roaming) have all had sufficiently few outgoing ports blocked that I've never run into one (and I use my iPhone as if it were a computer ;P). That said, WebSockets is just an upgrade extension to HTTP, so it is going to go over 80/443 any…
