Hi! I'm looking for a way to use Qt WebSockets in my app.

WebSockets module is a part of Qt since 5.3, but it doesn't appear in SFOS 2.1.0 neither preinstalled nor as a separate package. Is it planned to add it later on or I'll have to bundle Qt WebSockets with app package as this question suggests?

There is no jolla build of QtWebSockets, so you don't have any other way than building it's your own.

@coderus yeah, I assumed this, but was hoping it's a subject to change in a near future

No matter if it's a subject fit future, if you want to develop application now.

@coderus sure, but I need WebSockets for just one of the many features I want to implement, so it can wait until some point. And even afterwards it would be nice to be able to drop my build in exchange for Jolla one.

+1 for websockets. I am developing music player controllers for Volumio and Mopidy. They both are using websockets for the communication (well Volumio uses socket.io to be exact). For testing and development I have manually installed QtWebsockets packages from coderus to my targets and they work well. However, manually installing is of course not an option for the final app, so would somebody have an example how could I bundle these modules into my app?
