Install under R 3.4.1 fails

[Aylon1]

Hi,

Is there any trick to install the package on Win 10 Pro? I tried, but get compile errors on the easywsclient.cpp?

Many thanks for your advice.

Hi all, thanks for your interest. Neither @AliciaSchep or I are maintaining this moving forward. I'll add a badge to the README indicating this.

There is actually quite good support for websockets in R coming from: https://github.com/rstudio/websocket now. I've been using this for my latest work with websockets and it's held up really well.
