WebSocket proxy written with libstent (memory safe C)
I have recently finished an open-source (BSD-2) websocket proxy (and simple web server) in ANSI C. You can find the repo here. It is functionally similar to websockify but you don't need to faff with numpy dependencies or PIP and it has more features than the C version of websockify which also seems a little unmaintained.
