I googled to find WS Client that support both WS/WSS with specified certificate file but not found anyone.
I don't want wasting time for finding it anymore. So, I decided to make this tool for work and those who needed.

Features

• Support both Websocket (WS) & Websocket Secure (WSS) protocol
• Support to use a specified certification file manually
• Support to use self-signed & publicly-trusted-signed certification automatically
• Support send/receive/display Text & Binary data type
• Support custom websocket header
• Support save/load preferences from JSON file
• Support cross-platform like Windows, Linux, macOS, etc
• Others
