[VB6] Visual Basic 6 Client Websocket Control 1.11 BETA

@vbLewis

Thumbs up for this impressive effort.

Can we use this OCX to implement realtime messaging between "non-server" clients?
Can you provide samples for chat application?

Many thanks

No, you have to have a server to coordinate messages to and from websocket clients. I believe that is what piesocket(dot)com actually does, it allows you to connect multiple clients to their server and all subscribe to the same channel. Any messages sent by a client will be seen by (aka broadcast to) all clients. I will see if i can make a multi client demo for piesocket... but that might require a full blown json parser which I didnt want to include in the source if I didnt have to, but I will look into it.

EDIT: I have updated the example on how to implement multiple chat clients using piesocket. Its a similar process with any chat server.
