Thanks for the info. Do you think Boost.Beast is a better option than websocketpp?

vinniefalco commented 6 years ago

A library has to be pretty good to get accepted to Boost. Here's a comparison: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/design_choices/comparison_to_zaphoyd_studios_we.html

Dear Vinnie, thank you for your reply. After several weeks I had some time to go back to this and I have reimplemented my C++ example based on your advanced_server_flex example.

I have done some refactoring to segregate the actual handling of the message on a separated "Handler" class, I believe the code is cleaner this way. I can create now different server classes with specific missions and I don't need to entangle them with all the connection management and boilerplate code. I'm sharing it here:

I hope I got it right, your domain of the modern C++ features is several levels above of mine. I hope one day I can reach it. On the other hand, I have to tell you that I side with the crowd that would like this beautiful language to be less complicated, not more. I see a programming language as a tool to achieve a mean, and consequently I try to write code as simple and as understandable as it is possible, given the performance and memory constraints. As a member of the body for the advancement of C++ see if you can contribute to make it simpler and more accessible to the younger generations.

Thank you for sharing your amazing work and all the best to you,
