title: Debug iOS 6+7 Mobile Safari using the Chrome DevTools
body: <p>iOS 6 comes with built-in support for remote debugging (<a href="http://www.screenr.com/GYZ8">1 minute screencast</a>). It plays nice with the new Safari Web Inspector which seems to be a 1 year old fork of WebKit Inspector. It misses some features such JS editing and WebSocket frames inspection.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Safari's Web inspector does use the WebKit remote debugging protocol. However, Safari does not use TCP/HTTP as a transport layer, thus making it incompatible with Chrome.</p>

  <ul>
  <li>What does Safari use for transport layer?</li>
  <li>Can I make a proxy from this mysterious transport layer to HTTP to make it work with Chrome DevTools?</li>
