  • connection close
  • ping
  • pong

####### Not supported features of RFC6455 #####

  • 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)

####### Limitations for Async #####

  • Functions called from within the context of the websocket event might not honor yield() and/or delay(). See this issue for more info and a potential workaround.
  • wss / SSL is not possible.

####### Supported Hardware #####

  • ESP8266 Arduino for ESP8266
  • ESP31B
  • 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
