How to use a WebSocket with cpp-httplib?

[yurivict]

Is there an example on how to use a WebSocket with cpp-httplib?

RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455

@yurivict, thank you for the question. Unfortunately, cpp-httplib doesn't support WebSocket. If you need WebSocket functionality, you may want to check https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets. uWebSockets supports regular HTTP request as well. Thanks!

Thank you.

uWebSockets depends on C++17 which isn't great for portability and haven't got it to work properly serving static files. You're library is really awesome and websocket support would be a great addition.
