Send message to client without having to receive one first #6

I'd like to use your websocket implementation but my use-case might be a little weird. Basically I want the webpage to connect to a server started by a script I have that is generating data. As that data is generated, I need to send it to the connected client (there should only ever be one). But from your examples I only see that you can call sendMessage in response to something. I tried to send the server off on it's own thread and call sendMessage from outside of that but it just errors saying that sendMessage is unbound.

Any thoughts?

Not sure I fully understand your situation. Is the web client that is generating the data wanting to transmit that data to another web client or just to the server?
