WebSocket Server and Client for Arduino
===========================================
a WebSocket Server and Client for Arduino based on RFC6455.
##### Supported features of RFC6455 #####
- text frame
- binary frame
- connection close
- ping
- pong
- continuation frame
##### Limitations #####
- max input length is limited to the ram size and the ```WEBSOCKETS_MAX_DATA_SIZE``` define
- max output length has no limit (the hardware is the limit)
- Client send big frames with mask 0x00000000 (on AVR all frames)
- continuation frame reassembly need to be handled in the application code
##### Limitations for Async #####
- Functions called from within the context of the websocket event might not honor `yield()` and/or `delay()`. See [this issue](https://github.com/Links2004/arduinoWebSockets/issues/58#issuecomment-192376395) for more info and a potential workaround.
- wss / SSL is not possible.
##### Supported Hardware #####
- ESP8266 [Arduino for ESP8266](https://github.com/Links2004/Arduino)
- ESP31B
- Particle with STM32 ARM Cortex M3
- ATmega328 with Ethernet Shield (ATmega branch)
- ATmega328 with enc28j60 (ATmega branch)
- ATmega2560 with Ethernet Shield (ATmega branch)
- ATmega2560 with enc28j60 (ATmega branch)
###### Note: ######
version 2.0 and up is not compatible with AVR/ATmega, check ATmega branch.
Arduino for AVR not supports std namespace of c++.
### wss / SSL ###
supported for:
- wss client on the ESP8266
- wss / SSL is not natively supported in WebSocketsServer however it is possible to achieve secure websockets
by running the device behind an SSL proxy. See [Nginx](examples/Nginx/esp8266.ssl.reverse.proxy.conf) for a
sample Nginx server configuration file to enable this.
### ESP Async TCP ###
This libary can run in Async TCP mode on the ESP.
The mode can be activated in the ```WebSockets.h``` (see WEBSOCKETS_NETWORK_TYPE define).
[ESPAsyncTCP](https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP) libary is required.
