Websocketpp unique port in case of Citirx Xenapp environment

[HimanshuNandu]

I have a JavaScript websocket client app and c++ desktop websockert server app.

Requirement is to not hardcode port number and generate it at run time, Since in Citirx XenApp environment we cannot share port across user sessions as we have one c++ desktop server running for each client.

The problem is Citirix Env shared across user sessions has only one IP, so I need unique port for each user.

Since javascript has limitations reading config files, etc I cannot give back the port number to it.

Now if we hardcode the port numbers, we cannot work with Citrix, but in Citrix we can define something as virtual IP for each user session, and configure it only if the app uses windows socket APIs

Please read Citirix virtual ip doc

I wanted to know if internally websocketpp calls windows socket calls?

To answer your question, yes this library indirectly uses Windows Sockets.
All network calls will end up in some way at the Windows Sockets library.
