Re: [libmicrohttpd] Update for websocket library

[Evgeny Grin]

Hi David,

Thanks a lot for the update. Looks good. It's very nice the you updated 
the documentation as well!
It was imported into git.

After some testing, portability fixes, and probably some updates, the 
code will be moved from "experimental" area.
Until then feel free to update the code (including API and ABI updates) 
if you see any space for improvements.

Wishes,
Evgeny
