Description
The function httplib_websocket_write() sends data to a websocket client wrapped in a websocket frame. The function issues calls to httplib_lock_connection() and httplib_unlock_connaction() to ensure that the transmission is not interrupted. Data corruption can otherwise happn if the application is proactively communicating and responding to a request simultaneously.
The function is available only when LibHTTP is compiled with the -DUSE_WEBSOCKET option.
The function returns the number of bytes written, 0 when the connection has been closed and -1 if an error occured.
