Feature request for async websocket support

[bcopy]

Hello,

How feasible would it be to add mqtt support over websocket ? for instance using https://github.com/Links2004/arduinoWebSockets which has asynctcp support.

Would it integrate well with homie ? Has anyone looked into it ? If not, can someone provide pointers as to where the library would need to be extended ?

This would make it easier to use in IoT scenarios where only HTTP ports are available.

It may not be hard but probably there will be some odd quirks to work around. It's a matter of replacing the AsyncClient with the websocket client, replacing the callbacks.

Keeping this feature request open...
