Introduction to the WebSocketHandler Module

The WebSocketHandler module provides a handler to be used with the HttpServer module to provide server-side RFC-6455 based WebSocket services to clients.

To use this module, use "%requires WebSocketHandler" and "%requires HttpServer" in your code.

All the public symbols in the module are defined in the WebSocketHandler namespace.

The main classes provided in this module are:

• WebSocketHandler::WebSocketConnection
• WebSocketHandler::WebSocketHandler
