Websockets library error and Ethernet access

[MassiPi]

Describe the bug

• with recent ESP8266 cores, the embedded websockets library gives error compiling. The library should be updated
• with 3.0.0 esp8266 core, and new embedded ethernet functionalities, RemoteDebug is not working (no telnet connection can be made)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. build a project with 3.0.0 esp8266 core to get the websockets error 2.build a project with 3.0.0 esp8266 and W5500 ethernet shield. no connection can be made

Expected behavior

• the library should build also with new core versions
• the library should work also over ethernet

Arduino Information:

• OS: Windows
• IDE Platformio
• Board ESP8266 with 3.0.0 core

Is this the websockets error you are referring to? I'm unable to build on the d1 mini and want to confirm if it's similar.

C:\Users\zacau\Documents\Arduino\libraries\RemoteDebug\src\utility\WebSocketsClient.cpp: In member function 'void WebSocketsClient::connectedCb()':

yes, it is. It's due to the fact that remotedebug contains also an old version of the webockets library. In my case, i do not use RD over websockets so i just commented out that part and disabled websockets, but i assume this is a design error to include an external library in this way. If you use websockets with RD, i think there is a way to use the updated websockets library, included externally (something like "use external websockets" in remotedebug.h, i can't check now)

Btw, it seems RD works correctly also with the new ethernet lwip library, very good!
