(C++) Send and Receive WebSocket Messages

This example how to send and receive websocket messages.

A WebSocket message can be composed of one or more frames. The simple case is where a single frame is both the first and last frame in a message. This is the case where the 1st frame in the message has the "final frame" bit set.

This example demonstrates sending and receiving multi-frame messages.

Note: The websockets.chilkat.io server imposes the following limitations:
Messages must be 16K or less, and each connection is limited to a max of 16 echoed messages.
