I have been collecting information on websocket programming and learned a lot on handshaking, maaual paring, framing, event-loops and other concepts. My guess is that most is not very helpfull. Does anyone have good sugestions for relevant information?
What are you actually trying to achieve? WebSockets are a means to an end, and are (slightly) higher level than C TCP connections, but not much higher. But they are good for two-way traffic from e.g. JavaScript, as long as you are careful to avoid deadlock of course. And in what environment are you doing this? E.g. network programming in C or even Rust on Linux is not the same as python or JavaScript or trying to build federated XQuery servers or JETTY :-) liam -- Liam Quin: Delightful Computing - Training and Consultancy in XSLT / XML Markup / Typography / CSS / Accessibility / and more...
