Don't think it is really needed but I guess would be useful for making back and forth communication easier.

I don't think I am gonna implement this for the first release as in order to keep things nice I am going to want to have multiple servers running for this.

Would be useful for initializing data.

In the Example.ini included in MessagePassing_0.5.1.rmskin, the port number in the measure's options is as follows:

Port=37589

The plugin at this point does not allow changing ports, so the only working port, I believe, should be there so as to not confuse new users when they think the plugin isn't working:

Port=58932

This one is probably gonna stick around for a while.
If a websocket connection with the same Name option is already opened and a new rainmeter measure is made its OnOpen will not fire as the plugin is already open. I could add a check if it is already open and fire right away but then if dynamicVariables is on it will fire the OnOpen on every update cycle.
I might be able to fix this with some careful checking but given the low likelihood of that happening in cases where it would make a difference it is low priority.

For now just always use a different Name option for each websocket if you need OnOpen to always fire.
