Hi all, Since nobody called for changes in the API, it was merged in GIT after extensive testing using the awesome http://autobahn.ws/testsuite pointed by Raoul.
Note that to test you need CURL from GIT (7.50.2-DEV) as they committed a fix to their handling of unknown 101 (Switch Protocols). While in real-life this is hardly hitting the user, during autobahn test many cases start with a very small frame (2-4 bytes) and CURL wouldn't process then unless they were 5 bytes long. After the first frame is longer than 5 bytes everything works with the old CURL (ie: you can talk to ws://echo.websocket.org) It was also very nice way to test the Efl_Net_Dialer_Http with more data patterns, some fixes got in.
