aparently is a bug in chrome/chromium (i think i read that had something to do with compression). works fine in ffox.

Hello.
I need a websocket client. Any idea or example code.

I need also a TCP/UDP server with secure connection (SSH/SSL)

Remember people that gists don't notify anymore. If you have a question, ping me on twitter (@creationix), email or irc (@creationix). I also hang out in the nodemcu and esp8266/arduino channels channels on gitter.im.

conn:send("HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\n")
conn:send("Upgrade: websocket\r\n")
conn:send("Connection: Upgrade\r\n")
conn:send("Sec-WebSocket-Accept: " .. acceptKey(key) .. "\r\n\r\n")

Multiple conn:send won't work.
Change it to conn:send("HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\nUpgrade: websocket\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\nSec-WebSocket-Accept: " .. acceptKey(key) .. "\r\n\r\n")
to get the correct frame header

I was able to get one way communication going with this - from browser to ESP8266, but not the other way around. Spoke to the author and he couldn't get it working reliably in the end.
