Description
The function httplib_websocket_client_write() sends data to a websocket server wrapped in a masked websocket frame. The function issues calls to httplib_lock_connection() and httplib_unlock_connection() to ensure that the transmission is not interrupted. Interruption can happen the the application is proactively communicating and responding to a request simultaneously. This function is available only, if LibHTTP is compiled with the option -DUSE_WEBSOCKET.
The return value is the number of bytes written on success, 0 when the connection has been closed and -1 if an error occured.
