Hi all,

I am working on some tutorials for WebSocket++ and was wondering if anyone here has specific features or concepts that they feel would be particularly useful to have covered? Anything that you wish there was a tutorial for now or wished there had been when you were first setting up your WebSocket++ application?

Best,

Peter

WebSocket++ is a header only C++ library that implements RFC6455 The WebSocket Protocol. It allows integrating WebSocket client and server functionality into C++ programs. It uses interchangeable network transport modules including one based on C++ iostreams and one based on Boost Asio.

Major Features

• Full support for RFC6455
• Partial support for Hixie 76 / Hybi 00, 07-17 draft specs (server only)
• Message/event based interface
• Supports secure WebSockets (TLS), IPv6, and explicit proxies.
• Flexible dependency management (C++11 Standard Library or Boost)
• Interchangeable network transport modules (iostream and Boost Asio)
• Portable/cross platform (Posix/Windows, 32/64bit, Intel/ARM/PPC)
• Thread-safe
