Websocket support

Why HTTP support, but no websocket support? Websocketpp, not sure I like it.

You seem to have misunderstood the purpose of Asio. Asio does not implement protocols such as HTTP. Asio is a C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming. Developers can use it to implement things such as a HTTP server with Websocket support, but there's nothing like that in Asio.

There are some basic examples on how a very simple web server could be created using Asio (maybe this is what confused you) in the documentation, but HTTP (and hence Websockets) are far outside the scope of Asio.

Closing as out-of-scope for Asio.
