Re: [libmicrohttpd] Websockets

[John Duncan]

No problem.  Thank you so much for your work on the library.  It's great!  When I write some macros to do what's required I'll follow them up with a mailing list post so others can use them  if they want.  Shouldn't take too long to do.

Right now, the expectation is that you need to write this yourself, at
least I have no plans to do more in terms of API than what we have today
with respect to "HTTP Upgrade".

Happy hacking!
