I am trying to establish a connection from a program in C to a node server with socket.io.
The only way I could figure out was to make http request from the C program to the node server so I have dis part a little covered.
Now I need to receive some information from the node server from the C program.
Is there any client library for c that lets me do this?
In case it does not exist, could you gime me some ideas to make it work?
Thank you very much!
You can also try cellophane.io:
https://github.com/ikeralbeniz/cellophane.io
it is still buggy so it is only fot testing or POCs..
If you are looking for a library and examples try libwebsockets
It has both client and server capability and I hope it should help you out well with its documentations and examples.
Can you use C++ instead? If so,
https://github.com/ebshimizu/socket.io-clientpp
New C++ Client
Based on Boost and WebSocket++, this full-featured Socket.IO 1.0 client has the fundamental advantage of working on multiple platforms.
