Description:
The websockify module translates between a WebSocket connection and a plain TCP connection, so a browser can reach a service that speaks no WebSocket of its own. The payload travels base64 encoded or in binary frames, which is what noVNC expects of a VNC server behind it. This port only installs the module sources. The module itself is built by the nginx ports when their WEBSOCKIFY option is enabled.

www/nginx-module-websockify: Add New Port

Sources of the websockify module for the NGINX ports.  The module
translates between a WebSocket connection and a plain TCP connection, so
a browser can reach a service that speaks no WebSocket of its own.  The
payload travels base64 encoded or in binary frames, which is what noVNC
expects of a VNC server behind it.
