Websockets

Open joshuarossi opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

This is a really great library! We want to add it to the docs at docs.bitfinex.com, but would it be possible to add support for websockets?

Hey Joshua thanks!

To tell you do truth I haven't even heard of "client" side websockets up until now. I may be wrong but from what I know about PHP it's by far one of the worst languages to handle open connections for a longer period of time. I assume you'd have to hack a lot of things so you don't run out of resources.

I googled some libraries (Devristo/phpws, Textalk/websocket-php etc) and they are rather complex and often dependent on another libs.

I'm sorry but I don't see myself adding WS support to this lib.

no problem, maybe i could give it a shot? I'll submit a PR if I can get it to work
