Re: [libmicrohttpd] Protocol upgrade

[Markus Doppelbauer]

All major browser support Websockets nowadays so it would be a

great step ahead. 

My skills are limited when it comes to low level programming, so

my estimation could be wrong: But if it is only a small piece of

code maybe it would be useful to be integrated in MHD.

From a user perspective I would prefer a solution where http-requests

and websocket data-packets are handled by one event loop.
