Websockets not working with Web Filtering

Is there a way to allow the new websockets protocol (RFC 6455) to pass through the web filter?  Chrome 17, Firefox 11 and IE10 all now support Websockets.  There is a test site at:

WebSocket.org | Echo Test

With web filtering disabled this works with all of the browsers listed above.  With it enabled the browsers fail to connect.  It also works if I add echo.websocket.org to the "Skip transparent mode destination hosts/nets" under the advanced tab, but this will not be feasible once websockets become popular.

I can't find any other settings that may allow it to work.

Cheers
Simon
