IXWebSocket VS libcurl

If you're looking for a simple websocket lib with minimal dependencies, https://github.com/machinezone/IXWebSocket might be a good choice. It doesn't need Boost or ASIO (most other websocket libs do), TLS and ZLIB are optional.

When I try building the project using the main example the library provides, it gives me these errors (image). Here is main.cpp from the repo. The developer responded to someone else having the same issue with the code I quoted in my post, but like I said, I have no idea what to do with it. If I can figure out where to put it and get main.cpp working, I can go from there.

Then, in another terminal window, we use curl to hit the endpoint:

Made a PR to curl in line with the above: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13338

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

From the GitHub Issue itself, the maintainer did end up creating a PR to fix a related issue: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/12983

Also, the bot filed another issue despite the complaints.

This Docker image is designed to support implementing Github Actions with Python. As of version 4.0.0., it starts with the official python docker image as the base which is a Debian OS. It specifically uses python:3-slim to keep the image size down for faster loading of Github Actions that use pyaction. On top of the base, we've installed curl gpg, git, and the GitHub CLI. We added curl and gpg because they are needed to install the GitHub CLI, and they may come in handy anyway (especially curl) when implementing a GitHub Action.
