simple-libwebsockets-example

A simple libwebsockets example for file transfering through socket.

This is based on https://github.com/iamscottmoyers/simple-libwebscokets-example/

Build

make

Run

In one terminal run:

./server

Dependencies

After installing build-essentials, gcc/g++ compiler and cmake, do:

sudo apt-get install libwebsockets-dev
sudo apt-get install pkg-config

For Mac you may need to do or similar after installing the dependencies:

export CPATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/include:/usr/local/opt/gettext/include" export LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib:/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib"

Then navigate to http://hosturl:8000/fileupload.html in your web browser where hosturl is the server address. This will not work in localhost because most browsers don't allow workers on localhost.

You should be able to upload a file in chunks through websocket.
