[Nfd-dev] Secure websocket support in NFD?

[Wentao Shang]

Hi Jeff T,

The WebSocket library we are using in NFD is 'websocketpp'

http://www.zaphoyd.com/websocketpp

It supports WebSocket over TLS but we haven't added that to NFD yet. If
there is consensus that this will be useful, we can add wss support in the
next release of NFD (the only issue is to pick a port number for wss
server).

Best,
Wentao
